We have our prelim chart up and running. You will notice from this year how diverse it (mostly) is. Some of the wild ones, I can dig it. If you just go with the flow you will always just do “okay” but never fly like an eagle. Main charts | Tech charts
I would ordinarily wait a while before this is more complete but I’m getting too many emails asking for it. So, here it is! At last. Thanks to Marshall Flores who did most of the compiling so far. We will keep adding more as we get them.
The truth is out of all of the nominees Argo is nothing more than a comfortable choice to win over all of the other nominated films. This is because Lincoln is considered too boring, Silver Lining Playbook is a romantic comedy, and lets face it romantic comedies do not win, Life of Pi is too different, Les Mes is a musical and Zero Dark Thirty is too controversal. As for the other four nominees lets be honest they are nothing more than just fillers. If the Academy voting members were actually selecting the best movie of the year it should be Zero Dark Thirty. This movie was a outstanding follow-up to Katheryn Bigalow’s 2009 win of The Hurt Locker and her absense from the Best Director Category is just as much as an outrage as Ben Affleck’s absense from the same category. The ladder reason is the other real reason behind Argo more than likely being named Picture of the year. Aside from it being a movie about Hollywood filming a fake movie to rescue Americans held hostage in Iran way back in 1979, its momentium is additionally because of Ben Affleck not being nominated in the Best Director category. A snub that is being looked at with more attention, in regards to Bigalow’s snub as Bigalow has won before and Affleck has not; and at least deserved to be nominated.
I only differed with two of their consensuses. One, while I think The Hobbit and Les Mis could both easily win Makeup, I think the BAFTA win gives Les Mis the slight edge. Plus, you may recall that last year Harry Potter was the big franchise nominee with the fancy makeup, but the smaller The Iron Lady beat it, so that could happen once again.
The other difference is a truly baffling one. How in the world did they come up with a consensus of Robert De Niro to take Supporting Actor? From what I’ve seen, the consensus is actually Jones. I’ve been wondering why people have been choosing De Niro, not just now, but throughout awards season. He’s won no major awards… and yet, people keep picking him. Do they think that the Academy will pity him so much that they’ll just throw a third Oscar at him for a completely forgettable performance? Really, I’d love to know.
I think voters will think Haneke’s ‘here you go’ Oscar will be Foreign Language Film and even throwing some over to Riva’s performance than original screenplay. I think ZD30 gets it as a ‘we are all so sorry about what happened the last 2 months’ because they need Editing for Argo to give it some heft in awards and Sound Editing to Life of Pi or Skyfall. Tarantino’s film is still a little hard to digest for AMPAS voters because at least with Boal’s script it is **important** and based in real events that is sort of a miracle that a story that data-loaded and complex can function as a film. Tarantino is doing just another spin on a revenge fantasy that feels a little more gratuitous. He won indicators who have always loved him and feel no real implications (with exception to BCFA) of the images of white slave owners being gunned down.
Very informative charts, well done!
Any chance these get updated as we go along?
Rufus: You’re right that many people laid essential anti-slavery groundwork that helped lead to slavery’s abolition. However, not just anyone could have achieved what Lincoln did. Many would have been cowed to make “peace at any price” with the South, or, before Fort Sumter, continued to appease the South by making concessions on slavery-related issues to try to lure the South back into the Union fold. Even William Seward got cold feet very early in Lincoln’s administration, suggesting that the North start a war with England or France as a way of uniting both sections of the country. Lincoln’s response was: “One war at a time.”
Christophe: Never, ever use Gone with the Wind as a vehicle for learning about the causes of the Civil War. Not only is it just a novel, but its perspective is that of the South, and its effect, along with the movie GWTW, was to perpetuate a false history of slavery and the war, which fed right into what was known as “Jim Crow.” “Jim Crow” is the name of the racial caste system of the American South which lasted for nearly 100 years after the end of the Civil War. Not only were African-Americans denied the vote by many ingenious methods, but they were generally prevented from making a livelihood, prohibited from social contact with whites, denied an education and literally terrorized with extremely brutal violence and threats of violence so that they would “know their place.”
With the exception of some social activists, the North pretty much looked the other way. What is more, they went along with the South’s version of the history of slavery and the Civil War, as a way to get along. You have to look at GWTW in that context.
I agree with AwardsDaily almost entirely across the board. I agree about Emmanuelle Riva over Jennifer Lawrence (have always felt this would happen), and about Tommy Lee Jones over Robert de Niro. This idea that SLP *has* to win something does not really compute when you look at the individual awards. I’ve always felt that way. Neither Lawrence nor De Niro are good enough to win. It would be a Screenplay movie, but no way it’s beating Argo or Lincoln.
I also agree with Spielberg over Ang Lee, but that will be close. Ang Lee could certainly win it. (It depends how recently voters have watched “Life of Pi”; if very recently, they would probably vote for Lee for the win. If not, the default decision would go justifiably to Spielberg for his accomplishments and his contribution to the industry.)
Most uncertain: Original Screenplay. I have been leaning “Amour”, but… it’s foreign language… is it really the kind of movie the Academy likes? Neither “Django” nor “Zero Dark Thirty” are easy choices either. I am concerned about choosing Tarantino, because it’s a messy script–while also literarily and meta-textually brilliant. “Zero Dark Thirty”–is the controversy about it *that* bad? Don’t many people deeply admire this film? Three-way split in my mind.
Liz, thanks for the information. I readily agree that the information I have regarding Lincoln is incomplete. So there is confusion.
I suspect that Lincoln privately believed slavery should be abolished and I also believe that if it weren’t so dangerous politically, he would have been more public with those feelings. I suspect the unpopular, progressive stance he took at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War that cost him his place in the US House of Representatives taught him to temper many of his beliefs in favor of his political career. That he got to be President and got to act on those beliefs is awesome and shows that he took the right path, but without a lot of luck, he never would have gotten there.
I don’t care about Chase’s personality. He may have been an ass, but he acted on his beliefs. And without people like Chase laying the groundwork, Lincoln could never have achieved the success he eventually did.
Good picks Glenn. I would only pose to question the choice of John Williams for LINCOLN.
Anything can happen to be sure, but Danna’s score to THE LIFE OF PI seems almost a sure thing. The perception is that Williams has won more than his share, and that he re-uses older themes. Don’t get me wrong, I love his restrained work for LINCOLN, but Danna’s work is magnificent.
Either my computer screen couldn’t fit the categories of original score, song and makeup and hairstyling categories in or the oscar experts didn’t think they were valuable enough to predict. Too bad as the skyfall song entry,Life of Pi score and the makeup of the Hobbit characters were all exceptionally well done.
obviously, my previous comment was a response to ryan
robin, I would so love the academy to release the numbers from every year and procrastinate for days over them.
OT but Box Office Mojo really needs to update and crunch their estimates for foreign gross. It’s been two weeks or so since ZD30’s last foreign tally and it is certainly more than $13 million at this point.
For RufusSondheim: I’m rather disappointed that you would come to all these negative conclusions about Abraham Lincoln’s feelings on slavery without really knowing what his feelings were or what the political climate was like in the North.
If you read Lincoln’s speeches and writings, you will come away with the well-founded conclusion that Lincoln was anti-slavery on economic *and* moral grounds.
The fact that Lincoln was anti-slavery meant that he was not an abolitionist; and all that that meant was that he did not favor the immediate abolition of slavery. It didn’t mean that he wasn’t as concerned about slavery as an abolitionist. The reason he was not an abolitionist is, chiefly, that slavery was *protected* where it already existed, by the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, he hoped that it could be contained in the South and eventually end. However, he believed he could work to prevent slavery from expanding into the territories and possibly even becoming national (as the U.S. Supreme Court decision in “Dred Scott” seemed to favor).
The political climate in the North was generally not favorable to abolitionists. In fact, hostility toward abolitionists by whites was very widespread, even in an abolitionist stronghold like Boston. Violence was nont uncommmon against abolitionists. Some abolitionists were even murdered – one notorious case in 1837 Illinois comes to mind.
In Illinois, given that the southern half of the state was overwhelmingly populated by ex-Kentuckians, voters tended to be even more racist than perhaps the average Northerner, and the North was a very racist society. To have come out as an abolitionist, even in the 1850s, would have been political suicide, especially in Illinois. But it also may not have been practical, for legal reasons, as discussed above.
Salmon Chase was certainly a “pure” abolitionist. But he was also a humorless, holier-than-thou personality who could never have been elected president. The fact that Lincoln appointed him to the cabinet is credit-worthy – especially when he retained Chase as Treasury Secretary while this man was actively campaigning for the Republican nomination in 1864!
With regard to actions taken against slavery during the Lincoln administration prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, within just a few months of taking office, Lincoln had already started working to persuade the loyal “border states” to voluntarily give up the institution through state Constitutional amendment. Unfortunately, he got nowhere, not even in Delaware, which had the fewest slaves of any slave state!
On the other hand, as states and parts of states came back into the Union fold via conquest, Lincoln worked hard to get the new governments to adopt anti-slavery state Constitutions.
The point I’m making, Rufus, is that you’re simply wrong in denigrating Lincoln’s anti-slavery feelings. And, in my opinion, Tony Kushner did a more than masterful job of synthesizing reams of material about the way Lincoln actually was and depicting the man in the movie.
^yes, I’ve learnt that reading GWTW. Generally speaking, I don’t know enough about the Civil War to form a documented opinion about either party or the war itself or Lincoln. All I know now is that according to the book, the South felt pressured by the North into seceding bc of what they perceived as unfair/abusive legislation and provocations. I have absolutely no idea as to the truth of the matter since I’m absolutely not a Civil War scholar, but as always I feel the need to play the devil’s advocate and liven up the debate, which is oh so interesting.
Those two accountants have the luckiest jobs in the world. Not only do they know the winners before hand but they know the vote tallies! Like, they know just how close BBM was to beating “Crash” for instance. It’s a miracle they can go anywhere without getting hounded by people to know the outcome of a past race.
Could you please adjust the Tech for 2010. It gives me the same results as the Main.
Christophe,
Cheers. : )
Don’t worry be happy. You were NOT being rude at all. Actually, your efforts would be appreciated in real-life situation by Japanese if you happen to visit Japan.
That said, Japanese being an East Asian language, word-by-word translation a la French to English and vice versa [even in case of French and English, problems still stand, but that’s another story] could possibly make it sound unnatural and redundant.
In French context, for instance, it’s the same (unnatural) thing when I knowingly put it *awkwardly* by translating literally “for-your-information” into “pour-la information-du-toi” (which, as a French man you know, sounds ridiculous and incorrect, etc.).
The internet translator is unlikely to work in MOST cases, in my opinion, as far as a European language and its East Asian counterpart go.
Therefore, from (what your kindly wrote) 日本(語)のこれらのニュース(短編小説)をありがとうございます (I’ve changed) to […]更新ありがとうございます。(But then again, you were NOT being rude at all. Cheers.)
Soooooo….Pete Hammond is predicting les miserables will win cinematography. Ummmm….yeah, good luck with that, Pete.
rufus,
wow thx this is mighty interesting! I didn’t even know it was a true story, I used to dismiss it as some sort of Django rip-off and since I didn’t like Django… Now I’ll make sure to see this movie, and I guess if they do it right it could be a major award player.
As for Lincoln, I think before the war I would’ve agreed that slavery was going to die on its own anyway and there was no need to bring the country into such a devastating conflict. But once the war had started and bodies were piling up and property was being destroyed, you’d better go all the way and make sure it wasn’t fought in vain.
tjviewer,

lol, I just used the internet translator, I hope I’m not being rude 🙂

just to help you clarify, Christophe.
the war wasn’t started by Lincoln to end slavery. the war was started by the South to preserve and protect the continuation of slavery.
I know you know that and everybody knows it, but the way you phrase it makes me think that maybe sometimes people lose sight of that.
Lincoln did not rain down war upon to South to abolish slavery. That was already a done deal. (“Slavery, sir. It’s done.”) the Civil War was started by the South to KEEP slvery and it was fought by the North to bring the South back into the nation they tried to leave. The southern states thought they could secede and they were wrong.
Christophe,
Merci for your response. I am not surprised Les Mis’s been doing great in Japan. It was a recipe for success more or less in Japanese context.
—
Wait until Lincoln opens in mid-April in Japan. (It could possibly make Les Mis’s current commercial success in Japan feel like peanuts in a way, you know….) : )
Christophe – Here we go step by step.
1) 12 Years a Slave is a narrative by Solomon Northup who was free and lived in upstate New York. In his 30’s, married and with three kids, he was kidnapped when he went to Washington DC to work (he was a musician). This took place in 1841. 12 years later, in 1853 he was freed. He then wrote a memoir that became a bestseller that same year. (He was freed like on Jan 4, so, yeah he got a lot done that year)
2) In the book, Northup is represented by Samuel Chase in 1853 in some legal proceedings against the people who kidnapped him and sold him into slavery. Chase was a national politician from Ohio who eventually became one of Lincoln’s Republican rivals for the nomination for President in 1860. Chase eventually lost in part because of his abolitionist views in addition to him not being as politically astute as Lincoln.
3) At this time, Lincoln was anti-slavery. He was against the spreading of slavery into the expanded territories of the United States and he was against it on moral and legal grounds as well. But he was not in faovr of ending slavery in the south. He took the position that the natural evolution of slavery will cause it to die out and end on its own.
4) In Team of Rivals, Goodwin never details any efforts Lincoln took to end slavery or familiarize himself with slavery and even oce showed that Lincoln worked to send an escaped slave back to his owner, although she spends time discussing many other of his pursuits pre-1860. Counter this with Samuel Chase who spent much of his time working to help slaves representing them in court and working toward his freedom. Lincoln, at this time, was running for higher office the whole time, and it seemed to be his main pursuit in the 1840’s and 1850’s.
So by the time we get to 1865 and the events Spielberg presented in this film, Lincoln is very much shown to be anti-slavery. Now some will say he evolved, but I believe he was pulled there by political nexessity. While, he did believe it was wrong, he was more anti-slavery due to it harming the nation rather than anti-slavery because it was an immoral degrading institution.
Now, I’m not expert on 1850’s life and have no clue what the climate regarding slavery was in the free north. I can only speculate. But after reading something like 12 Years a Slave, I’d be horrified to learn those details of slavery were happening at that time. I couldn’t imagine not being moved to do something, especially if you were a political leader at that time. The details are that horriffic.
And Lincoln, who was said to get into a horse carriage and tell the driver “To the nearest library, and step on it.” Well, I can’t imagine he wasn’t familiar with these details, and if he wasn’t why was he so intellectually incurious about slavery but devoured information on every other subject.
I can only speculate here, but my opinion of Lincoln drops when I think about the intersection of all of this knowledge. And to know that in Mary Todd’s Lincoln inner circle was Elizabeth Keckley, a woman who was born a slave and bought her way out of slavery, along with her son. And this story is not mentioned, and Lincoln appears to be completely unfamiliar with her story.
When I put all of these items together, sorry, something is amiss here. I’m left to conclude Lincoln gets credit for being a lot of things he wasn’t, and that the movie allows those misperceptions to continue. I think the movie overlooks a complex concept, trivializes it in favor of some audience friendly hijinx. I don’t punish Lincoln, the film, for these oversights. Heck, I learned about them after I saw the film, but it just makes me long for a version of Lincoln which captured the man’s complexities and explored his inner life in a more complete fashion.
@rufus
what does it say about Lincoln? I just finished reading Gone With The Wind this morning and now let’s just say I’m not too fond of those damned Yankees! And Lincoln sounded like a rather unscrupulous man, more interested in politics than in people. I’ve got no idea where the truth lies, but there’s certainly more than one side to it.
No problem, although all I can do is relay knowledge from the book and from my viewing of McQueen’s first two films. After reading the book, I am left clueless as to how McQueen will adapt this complicated story since McQueen has shown he’s not interested in presenting conventional narratives in his film. He seems to prefer impressionistic takes on the events of the film, but occasionally prefers an extended take. But those extended takes are usually not narrative heavy.
From this, I am guessing that there will be three extended takes in the film. One will feature Adepero Oduye as described above, another will feature Ejiofor, Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o. The third scene, Ejiofor will be front and center with Paul Dano.
I’m discounting Paul Dano as a possibility for an award since, well, I’ve never seen him do anything memorable before and this part, while juicy, is kind of one-note (he just plays an extremely stupid, cruel man.)
I hope you enjoy the book! I found it utterly captivating. Can’t recall if you are a fan of Django Unchained or not, but once you get done reading 12 years a slave, I’d be interested in hearing how you percieve the Tarantino film. The book definitely colored the way I perceived Lincoln as well. It’s an extremely powerful book that will likely stay with you forever.
Along with most, I’m going with Argo for Adapted Screenplay. Not only due to the WGA and Scripter, but the BP winner usually does end up with another top prize. But is anyone going with Silver Linings Playbook? It did beat Argo at the BAFTA. I’m wondering if we’ll get a crazy upset there where SLP pulls that one out, similar to when Precious shocked the room when it defeated Up in the Air.
Actress and Adapted Screenplay would be a nice “runner up” haul for SLP, which seems to be pretty popular all around. Just wondering out loud…
@Tjviewer
lol, Les Mis is doing much better in Japan than in France, Victor Hugo’s home country, it opened at #8 last week-end with a dismal $927K,
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/france/?yr=2013&wk=7&p=new
sure it had less theaters than other openings but it’s only #7 per average! so it’s really tanking big time and will most likely exit the top 10 on its 2nd weekend, unless the Oscar buzz can revive it which I doubt…
rufussondheim, I updated the Wallis-part, used you as a source, sorry 🙂
Thanks, all!
rufussondheim, I haven’t read Twelve years a slave (just ordered it on Amazon), so thanks for the useful information on the female roles in it.
Most anticipated:
The World’s End
Stoker
Gravity
Man of Steel
Foxcatcher (In for Fraser and the cast, Bennett Miller, show me you can do this)
Pacific Rim
The Wolf on Wall Street (I am there for McConaughey and the ensemble)
Mud
Upstream Color
Prince Avalanche
Before Midnight
Inside Llewyn Davies
The Bling Ring (terrible title, great director and one of the last works of a master cinematographer)
That Terence Malick film once called Lawless
Her
The Grandmaster
The Spectacular Now
Kill Your Darlings
Ain’t Them Bodies Saints
Only God Forgives
Spike Lee’s Oldboy
Phantom, oops, just got to your Supporting Actress picks and there is no way that Quvenzhane Wallis will get a nom. No children feature prominently in the book. I suspect Wallis plays the daughter of slave Eliza SMALL SPOILER COMING who gets separated from her mother early on in the film. I think this scene though has the potential to be the first and perhaps most memorable scene in the film as there are some twists and turns in it that will remind many of that famous scene in Sophie’s Choice. And knowing McQueen he will let the events play out in almost real time giving the audience a horriffic glimpse into the slave-buying process. Actors who will be present in the scene inclue Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti and Adepero Oduye and I suspect Oduye as the slave Eliza will be the standout memorable presence in this scene.
Eliza is a constant presence in the early stages of the movie and I really think Oduye should be considered a possibility for BSA, she really has a great arc that so many actresses would love to play. It’s a strong role.
The only thing that prevents me from thinking she’s got a great shot is that the role of Patsy is likely going to be a breakout for the ages and Lupita Nyong’o has that part. It is a fully three-dimensional character with a wide range of emotions. She will have lots of scenes with Michael Fassbender and they promise to be outstanding.
geeez i am so disappointed I thought we were starting our 2013 lists 🙂
Yeah, Phantom, awesome job.
Wasn’t aware of the Atom Egoyan project. Hopefully he brings the same sense of mystery to this project as he did with Exotica (a film I think would have gotten a BP nom if it were released after Sweet Hereafter).
To me, though, Monuments Men sounds completely dull.
There’s quite an interesting itw of pwc oscar accountants on VF.com, I dunno if you’ve seen it yet:
http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/02/two-experts-count-oscar-ballots-pricewaterhousecoopers
best tidbits imo:
“[We are] separately escorted to the ceremony via two secret routes, accompanied by off-duty L.A.P.D. officers. They’re not there for us,they’re there for the envelopes. If we go down, their first order is to grab the bag, then call a medic.”
“Apparently, Sharon Stone and Quincy Jones once presented two categories in a row and accidentally gave away the second envelope to the first winner; Oltmanns and Rosas’s Jedi predecessor Frank Johnson calmly whispered the answer to Jones offstage as Stone stalled for time.”
“Rosas’s greatest test came when Russell Crowe presented the award for best actress. He was also nominated for best actor, and Rosas had to stand next to him in the wings, knowing that Crowe had lost—and knowing that Crowe knew Rosas knew the results. “I was afraid he was going to come in and give me the Maximus look,” he says.”
@Phantom
Impressive and thorough as ever. Thanks a bunch. I was over with this one after PGA. Of the ones you listed my most anticipated:
THE COUNSELOR
LOS AMANTES PASAJEROS
GRAVITY
12 YEARS A SLAVE
ELYSIUM
STOKER
ONLY GOD FORGIVES
INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS
PACIFIC RIM
MAN OF STEEL
RUNNER RUNNER
FOXCATCHER
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET
MALAVITA (plus I read somewhere that Marty in on board as consultant/executive producer)
Many others sounds really good too but I’m not gonna trnacribe. Go check it out. My gosh so much potential! 😀
It’s funny how Best Foreign Picture is in the “Tech” chart 🙂
From the looks of all the categories without a clear frontrunner, I might actually force myself to wake up at 2.00 AM on monday and watch the telecast. It’s be the first time since “The Hurt Locker” and that WAS a boring show. The funny thing is that the telecast is going to keep us guessing right up till the end. Probably the last awards given are going to be Director and Picture, in that order. Argo can’t win director, so whoever does win will make us wonder “maybe Lincoln/Life of Pi/SLP has a shot at BP”. Keep in mind that at this point in the show “Argo” will probably have only two awards. It’s gonna be interesting.
Sasha, as well as the editors, Marshall Flores in particular, thanks for the compilation.
By the way, please leave Awards Daily Predict the Oscars banner open through to (US time) Saturday/Sunday. I’d like to join other readers in predicting but need a bit more time to ponder the meaning of life…. xD
—-
Meanwhile, here is what it looks like in Japan (there) at 2/16th weekends:
Top 10 B.O.: Five US films, one (officially billed) UK film (L*s Mis), three Japanese, and one Korean on the chart.
[….] Die H*rd debuted at no. 1.
T*d, in its fifth week, is still doing great, down one spot for Die H*rd, to no. 2.
L*s Mis fans should be proud, the film going strong still, staying put like last week at no. 5 again, after NINE (!) weeks.
Pi going south one notch to no. 7 in its fourth week.
0D*rk30, unfortunately, debuted at no. 6 (not good in Japanese context considering a studios piece and one from US).
Cruise-starring […] R*acher, in its third week, down from the fourth place to no. 8.
There are going to be surprises. I wouldn’t be surprised if all three ‘Lincoln’ actors won.
I would be surprise though if ‘Argo’ lost Best Picture. Suggestions have been made that Life Of Pi could stun ‘Argo’ which I doubt after its poor Bafta performance.
But if ‘Life Of Pi’ stuns it would be remarkable given that not much Oscar campaigning has been done for it by Fox compared to Warner Bros., Weinstein and Dreamworks. I am disappointed that Fox has not campaigned ‘Life Of Pi’ more. It is almost as if they are just happy that it made over half a billion dollars. They are not ambitious, excited and desperate about Oscar awards like Weinstein which is disappointing for me.
Benh Zeitlin could also stun for best director if the other directors split the vote.
Here’s how I see is standing at the end of the night, with a little wishful thinking 😉
Argo (3) Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing
Life of Pi (2) Director, Special Effects
Les Mis (4) Supporting Actress, Art Direction, Sound Mixing, Makeup/Hair
Anna K (1) Costumes
Lincoln (3) Actor, Supporting Actor, Original Score
Amour (3) Actress, Original Screenplay, Foreign Film
Skyfall (3) Cinematography, Sound Editing, Song
I think that covers it ….. a nice and even spread in a great year of film.
Rob, it is the first year ever though, and it takes away from the credibility of the table IMO
“Rob, it is the first year ever though, and it takes away from the credibility of the table IMO”
Let’s wait to see how well the psychics do before we impugn their credibility.
Trust me. They didn’t hold a seance and consult the spirit of Houdini. The psychics are guessing. Just. Like. Everybody. Else.
Love that you included the Hollywood Psychics.
Sasha, Hollywood Psychics have their own column?? Seriously??
I get that its the only way to get Lincoln on that BP chart, but really, they dont deserve to be there
OT : If you want to kill time til Sunday, here is an early look at how the next Oscar season might look like.
