Yeah, it’s Sundance and all but does anyone think it’s mighty strange that most of the self-proclaimed Oscar bloggers are being quiet right about now? Perhaps they feel there is nothing worth talking about? Movie City News, nothing. Hollywood-Elsewhere, nothing. In Contention, Film Experience, Gold Derby, Rope of Silicon, Indiewire and of course, Dave Karger at EW, are all on it. Otherwise, drop a penny to the bottom, the well is empty. Awards Daily, knee-deep in Dark Knight fever (don’t worry; it will all be over soon).
Here is your space to plug your site – tell us who you are and what you’ve got going.

Musings, Movie Reviews, and Oscar Talk.
Oscar Predictions go up at 12:30!
Oh, let’s not talk about me, Sasha. Let’s talk about you. What did YOU think of the Dark Knight?
Vanity Fair has their Little Gold Men Oscars blog—going strong every day.
I have a blog. It has no Oscar stuff on it, but it will after the nominations go up. It’s mainly just a haphazard cavalcade extravaganza of reviews, comments, thoughts, fears, fetishes, and perspectives all pertaining to movies. Okay, so it’s not near as fascinating as that made it sound, but I’m trying. I need traffic.
I’m still at odds in terms of my nomination predictions, not sure why. Perhaps its just last minute jitters as Nat Rogers called it.
Me and fellow Oscar-obsessive Luke Gorham have our final predix up at In Review Online. Take a look if you’re so inclined.

Those are my predictions
My predictions will be up very very soon…

Serious?
I`m Flapp, someone can´t understand “TDK Fever”.
I really can´t.
you can find my predictions here: http://cinemaistruth.vox.com/
I’ve decided to try and guess some of the shockers this year. i don’t normally do that. also the first year i’m doing alternates.
Just click my name and you will find my predictions and other movie and funny stuff if you are interested.
Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Awardsdaily, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of The Dark Knight fails, when we forsake our reviews and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of Dark Knight comes crashing down! BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! THIS DAY WE FIGHT! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you: stand, Men of the Christopher Nolan!!! YOU WILL GET THE BEST PICTURE AND THE BEST DIRECTOR NOD! YOU DESERVE IT!
Hey sasha, I just joined awardsdaily on facebook and I added you as a friend too
I’ll be checking out all these blogs but I sincerely hope that the Academy shocks people come Thursday with surprise nominees and show some love to snubs
*cough* Beyonce in Cadillac records *cough* Benecio del toro for Che *cough*
Here’s my blog with my best scenes and pics from 2007.
2008 films coming after the nominations.
I wonder if Mike Leigh could squeeze a director nod for Happy-Go-Lucky (he did it years ago with Vera Drake). I think there might be a few surprises.

I have a good feeling about tommorow. You will see…
Here are my predictions, along with an analysis of Slumdog Millionaire.
http://www.mitchellelling.blogspot.com
I have a website that is basically like a blog. It started as a project to get me wrapping my head around building a site with CSS and HTML and turned into a place where I basically share my movie reviews. Film criticism is my great passion and so I started writing reviews and posting them on my site. I am now up to 45, which is pretty awesome. It started with Iron Man and went from there. The first couple were a little rough, but then it really started to come together.
So, the Movie Reviews page is really the main thing that I update. My Movie News page is blank and I haven’t written anything about television for a long time.
But I do have my Oscar predictions up on my site, along with my Top Ten lists for 2008. The links to those are on my home page or you can find them at these URLs:
http://slothsandmovies.com/oscar-predictions-2008.html
http://slothsandmovies.com/best-worst-portal-2008.html
So that’s about it. I don’t have many regular readers yet, so anyone who wants to give my site a chance, then I’d love to have you. I don’t have a guestbook set up right now, since I tried it once and the thing was overrun with spam very quickly. But if anyone reads anything on my site and wants to respond (happily or angrily), just send me an email and I’ll get back to you.
Thanks for this opportunity, Sasha!
I think everyone’s just recovering from the inauguration.
…and Sasha, no coverage on the RAZZIES?
The previous nomination of Sharon Stone’s “lopsided boobs” in Basic Instinct 2 has to be the funniest moment in cinematic history, without a doubt.
Click my name above to check out my Oscar predictions, plus 50+ other articles on all things film.
Sasha, thanks for once again putting together the best Oscar site around.
@ atlanta…
You have Cate Blanchett as a possible best actress nominee for the movie “The Mysterious case of B. B” LOL. I think I like “curious case” better. lol
Looking forward to seeing Cate and Brad in their next project: The Curious Cask of Amontillado
Sure, Blanchet deserves this nom.
I guess I’m not really an “Oscar blogger” per se, but I do have a column going up (I think tomorrow) on why I think Happy-Go-Lucky is the film of the year, which will be followed by an exclusive interview with Mr. Mike Leigh. I spent some time with Leigh the day he was to pick up his NYFCC award, which was as amazing as it sounds.
During the interview “Mr. Rudin” called up to see him and was told he would have to wait.
Sure enough, there he was in the lobby when I got down there.
LOL.
That will probably be the only time in my life that “Mr. Rudin” waits for me.
Anyways, we chatted about lots of things: what an Oscar would mean to him, women in cinema (of course!), and why Angelina Jolie in Changeling is problematic.
I guess I am sort of verging recklessly into “Oscar blogger” territory….

and @ Ryan, lol! I’m still waiting for someone to bring Poe to the screen in a meaningful way.
@ Sarah (#10): I checked your blog, really great looking!
Vive la Nouvelle Vague!
And congrats for presenting some No Guts, No Glory- pix. Michelle Williams would be great!
You can catch my predictions here:

But, for more fun, check out my extremely honest list of the films of 2008 that I still haven’t seen. It ain’t exactly Oscar-related, but it’s a hoot:

Woo a chance for a shameless plug!
I read this site religiously although I rarely comment for some reason, but I do pretty much rely on you guys and I’m rarely disappointed by your coverage.
I’m currently working on a film studies undergrad degree at the University of South Carolina, and work at the student-run newspaper there, The Daily Gamecock, as film critic. My blog, which you’ll get to if you click my name, features links to my articles in that newspaper (mostly reviews) in addition to some Oscar musings, personal insights into some films, just mostly whatever I feel I have time for during my busy schedule.
Im bored, I’ve checked all the blogs… This is what happens when you get sick for a week and you don’t go to work. Keep the blogs coming!
At Joesboxoffice.com, I have my final Oscar Predictions under my Awards Tracker tab, and in the right hand column. (Direct link to them: http://www.joesboxoffice.com/?p=1275 )
I went with some ’shockers’ because things seem a bit too stale to be right.
I also have posted the Golden Razzie Nominations for this year’s worst, which came out today…just for shits and giggles.
Another shameless plug…miscellaneous reviews, Oscar stuff, etc.
http://josh-islandofmisfittoys.blogspot.com
just put up my predictions in full.
jcaseychapman.blogspot.com

@ atlanta…
“Frost/Tricky Dick
Gay ‘Ol Harvey”
LOL!! LOL!!
[Note: Some of the comments with links to your various blogs are being sent into the "Approval" waiting room instead of being immediately posted. Don't be discouraged. I'm checking periodically to release those comments from purgatory.]
The razzie award nominations are out if anyone cares at all about that
Ricky, yea, the Razzie site is crazy slow, at least for me. So I put them up at http://www.joesboxoffice.com
The silence is broken…..
GET IN THERE THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!
You should be in! Better be! If not good night Oscars!
Why so serious?
Ha Ha ha Ho hee ha hee ha Ha ha Hee ha hee HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all have the latest news, opinion posts, reviews, and dvd release information.

Well, I don’t have Oscar stuff SPECIFICALLY.
But my site (CINEMATIC PASSIONS) is mainly devoted to film – as in reviews – along with music, television, fashion…
Almost anything that hits the heights of the pop culture zeitgeist.
Click on my name to take the grand tour.
Oh…and the lovely and talented RYAN ADAMS has been a visitor there on occasion.
Even if it hasn’t been lately…
Okay, I’ll pimp my site as well. It’s fairly new and it’s really more of a wiki than a blog:
http://oscarmagic.wetpaint.com/
Hey tyler, I love the idea of a movie debate site. I must remember to join a debate when they start up. Very cool idea.
I don’t do predictions, per se, but I do watch all of the films (I just reached 90% of all 7320 feature film Academy Award nominations).
I do write a lot about film at:
http://nighthawknews.wordpress.com/category/erik/film/
and I will be doing a post each day until the awards, focusing in on a category each day at:
http://nighthawknews.wordpress.com/category/erik/film/academy-awards-film-erik/
naivehelga.blogspot.com – predictions will be up within the hour.

Thanks!
Why do I have a nagging suspicion about TDK getting shut out of Best Picture? I think I’m just getting punchy. I hope so.
http://reflectionsinagoldeneye.blogspot.com/
I can’t get behind THE DARK KNIGHT for Best Picture. Or maybe I’m biased because I didn’t really like it. Anyway, I’ve been trying to blog a bit about the Oscars on my site. I posted predictions, and I do a contest every year with mostly my friends. But you all should enter. It will be up tomorrow morning.

I just started a blog yesterday, and posted my Oscar predictions.
http://filmfemmewrites.blogspot.com/
I wrote a much more eloquent comment yesterday that got marked as spam and apparently lost, but check out my writing via my url/name thing — my next venture is a column about why I think Happy-Go-Lucky is the film of the year and an exclusive interview with Mr. Mike Leigh, who I spoke with the day he was going to collect his Best Director award from the NYFCC. My column is technically about gender and film, but lately I have been speaking with quite a few directors…
