Another injustice upon the crew of Game of Thrones!!
Come on Hugo… *crosses fingers*
Not related, but JG Horn, one of the writers involved in the LA Times’ thorough (and embarrassing) expose of Academy membership, with its ethnic and age imbalances (just 2% of AMPAS voters are under FORTY YEARS OLD!) will be on tomorrow’s Kevin and Bean radio show on KROQ 106.7. Can be streamed live at kevinandbean.com.
Unfortunately, these Awards aren’t reliable when it comes to predicting the Oscar winners.
5 out of 13 won Oscar without being nominated by CDG
6 out of 13 won both an Oscar and a CDG Award
2 out of 13 won an Oscar, being nominated by the CDG also
I am tempted to stick to my initial Anonymous prediction for the Oscars – I don’t know, I have this feeling. As for the CDG, I think they will go with Hugo.
I’m predicting Bridesmaids for Contemporary and probably Hugo for Period.
Girl with a Dragon Tattoo won!!!
LOL.
Oups, scratch that. W.E won? WHAT THE???
Potter should have been nominated at the Oscars..there are some discrimination over at the academy. Tsk tsk shame their viewership would decline this year.
So far, we have seen the cinematographers, art directors and now costume designers turn against The Artist? Is it possible that The Artist won’t win as many Oscars as people think?
@Steve: No, it’s not possible. All those loses were predicted. Nothing suprising happened. More suprising is that HUGO lost all those awards.
I hope so Steve. I hope so.
+1
At this point, I don’t mind The Artist winning, but I don’t want it to be a sweep. I’d like Hugo to make a decent dent throughout the night, and I don’t want to see Tree of Life’s Cinematography win stolen away.
@Someone
Hugo did not lose the Art Director’s Guild award, and the cinematographers were always going with Tree of Life.
I guess at the Oscars it’s going to be Sandy Powell and Oscar number 74. I mean shit, it’s always the same names, the modern day Edith Heads of the industry – Atwood, Powell, Canonero.
This is going to be a really interesting category on oscar night! Worth making a bet on Jane Eyre or Anonymous even because of such good odds.
YAAAAAAS Madonna.Snatch dem wigs girl.
Wonder why Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo wasn’t nominated for Costume Design at the Oscars?
@RG yeah it should be nominated for Best Picture, I mean why not
@OCO yeah, I mean besides those critic society awards it won Hollywood Movie of the Year and the People’s Choice Award for Best Film. And I could name alot of movies that won Best Film at the People’s Choice Awards got nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards (Oscars).
Harry Potter didnt deserve to be nominated for Costumes it’s just the same robes and plain contemporary clothes we have seen for the last 8 movies. It only won CDG because it had no contenders in the Fantasy category.
W.E. deserved the win and hopefully will win the Oscar. The costumes are about the best thing in the film. I however don’t think it will win it will probably be the artist in a mini sweep.
@Craig Z. “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (Penny Rose), “Red Riding Hood” (Cindy Evans), “Thor” (Alexandra Byrne),“X-Men: First Class” (Sammy Sheldon)
Also how many people do you know that wear those HP costumes…even while the movie?
@Russen how many poeple or fans do you that have costumes from The Artist.
The CDG are more likely to be more familiar with Arianne Phillips’ costumes for W.E. than the majority of Academy members, not costume designers themselves. They may not have seen the film, and those who have may not particularly remember the costumes. Those who do may also be prejudiced against the film, simply because it’s dreadful.
I’m very happy for Phillips though – she deserves this. Her costumes for W.E. were the best of last year. But I’m still predicting The Artist to win the Oscar.
I’m sticking with The Artist, despite these deserving wins, for the simple reason of “mob rule.”
Wouldn’t it be interesting if each trade voted in its respective category, then everyone voted for best film, just like the nomination process?
@someone….so The Artist is just gonna win director, picture, score and editing…that is, if george clooney somehow wins best actor? that would be frigging weird and a true sign that this is a default winner
Sclub, none of those movies are nominated…… No contenders.
I don’t think “Anonymous” is the frontrunner in costumes since “Shakespeare in Love” with very similar and better costumes already won here. It seems to be that this prize is going to be for “Hugo” or “The Artist”.
Baha! W.E.ak sauce Madonna scoops a win. (And over THE ARTIST no less!) Well deserved, although I’d pick Anonymous come Oscar night.
@Steve: I think that “The Artist” has real chance to win best actor and best original screenplay. “The Midnight in Paris” lost it’s buzz few months ago – and WGA win doesn’t mean anything (Allen won it for the fifth time and he got Academy Award for screenplay only twice so far). And Dujardin won BAFTA, SAG and Golden Globe and plays in the Oscar frontrunner. Only Russel Crowe lost its Academy Award after winning all those awards for the role in Oscar frontrunner (“A Beautiful Mind”) but Crowe won one year before – and it was pretty obvious (at least for me) that he won’t win second Oscar so quickly (he’s not as liked as Tom Hanks or Spencer Tracy – and never was). And even if “The Artist” wins only 4 Oscars that you predict – it also won’t be too suprising. In the last decade five “best pictures” won only 4 Oscars: “A Beautiful Mind”, “Million Dollar Baby”, “The Departed”, “No Country for Old Men” and “The King’s Speech” – and “Crash” had even less (only 3!) so it’s not so rare these days.
@Craig Z. what about Hugo
And I’m going to predict that “Jane Eyre” wins award for costumes. But “Anonymous”, “The Artist” and “Hugo” are also very likely winners. Only “W.E.” (yes!) doesn’t have a chance IMO.
Jane Eyre would be an amazing win, but sadly, I think it safe to stick with a consensus frontrunner (The Artist).
Gregoire, it really feels wrong to imagine an excellent film like “Jane Eyre” being snubbed in ALL but one categories and in the bloody end going home empty-handed. It was clearly one of the few positive surprises for me this year – still hope it wins Costume Design!
But for sure, The Artist´s costumes were amazing, too. But I´m not too worried to see that one going home empty-handed…
Harry Potter wins one, so does Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. there is still hope for Potter fans but it’s not nominated in this category. What’s with W.E. winning this category. the costumes in Jane Eyre are fabolous.
Sclub, Hugo was nominated for Period film…… You don’t make any sense
@Craig Z. did they hate the costumes?
What?
I think the win for W.E. is refreshing, I mean how many freaking times does a elizabethan or freaking Victorian era costumes always have to win. Its nice that a contemporary period piece won for a change. Which hence I think Artist wins, with a possible spoiler for W.E.
Hugo wont win, the costumes were nothing to marvel at. Plus Sally has won enough already.
@Craig Z. Did the CDG hate the HP costumes?

“Although I’ve never seen eye-to-eye with The Academy Awards, this year is truly a disaster.
Not only do the nominees fail to reflect the opinion of the average American moviegoer, but the critics as well.
This year brought a loving cult following for “Drive” and acclaim for the bold, explicit and extremely well made “Shame,” yet neither received any real nominations. This year, there are nine best picture nominees, but why? They didn’t pick any films the general public liked; they picked the safe, Oscar-begging movies the public avoids.
Instead of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” “Shame,” “Drive,” “Bridesmaids” or even “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” which people were surprised by and really enjoyed, we get films like “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” We get movies like “War Horse” and “Hugo,” productions that feel like they were made just for Oscars.
Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender gave three incredible performances this year. Not only were they great performances, but they were on levels the Academy should have appreciated. They both were great in big, popular Hollywood movies (“Crazy, Stupid, Love” for Gosling, “X-Men: First Class” for Fassbender). They both gave fantastic performances in well-made smart movies (Gosling in “The Ides of March,” Fassbender in “A Dangerous Method”). They both gave some of the best performances in recent memory in beautiful and creative art films (Gosling in “Drive,” Fassbender in “Shame”). Yet both actors were snubbed on ridiculous levels this year and received no nominations. Instead, we get yet another uninspired Meryl Streep nomination for a movie no one will see, “The Iron Lady,” along with all the other Hollywood elitists, including George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
Hollywood and the Academy have gotten so caught up in congratulating themselves that they have forgotten why people watch movies: for escapism and good story-telling, not political opinions and how they represent current events. (I’m looking at you, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.”)
If these were really the best films of the year, the art of filmmaking would be dead.”
Obviously they liked them a little but the Academy didn’t.
