2012 Academy Awards Predictions

February 26th 2012 18:04
It's that time again. This year, I went against the grain for a lot of things. Maybe I'm just longing for an exciting awards show rather than the predictable one that is sure to occur? Either way, I'm sticking with my choices even though I'll be the first one to admit that I will probably do terribly. Tell me your predictions in the comments!

Note: if a 'want' is not indicated, it's because I have no real preference.

2012 Oscar Dream Ballot

January 24th 2012 03:13
Each year when it's Oscar predictions time, I do my dream ballot of what I'd want to see get nominated. I'm including scores that were disqualified because I don't really care.

2012 Academy Award Nominations Predictions

January 24th 2012 02:02
This is an odd year for the Oscars and the main reason for this is the mystery of how many films will be nominated for Best Picture. The number will be no less than five and no more than ten. Most pundits are predicting there will be around seven films. The other questions in this award season go something like this:

How much did the Academy like Tree of Life? Will it get in for Best Pic? Director? Will Brad Pitt surprise in a Best Supporting Actor nod to add to his suspected Best Actor nomination? Does the Academy love Bridesmaids as much as the rest of critics/awards shows? I’m predicting it gets in for picture and probably screenplay as well but I have a strong feeling McCarthy will end up being snubbed

Yeah, isn't she surprisingly wonderful! I knew from the trailer I'd be obsessed with her performance. Can't wait to see what she does next!

I did like 28 Days Later but it's not one of my all-time favs. I've actually never seen any of the Saw films. I was never really interested but yeah I heard the twist was rather silly

Rage, lol!

Oh no, I love Falcon and the Snowman but like I said, so very tough and I've seen like 26 things from him, I believe? If I were to rewatch it again it may end up sneaking in, but it was def one of the final choices. Thanks so much for the comment! Yeah, I love that Madonna story And also him telling James Franco when filming ending, "okay I have to break up with you now"

Bryn - ahahaha. Well, yeah, I guess the general inclusion of The Crying Game is an automatic spoiler, isn't it? Oh, well. I couldn't in good conscious leave it off. Hmm.. you know.. I think Orlando should count. I'd say yes, probably. That would have been such an interesting casting to see re: Interview! I think if it were made today, I wouldn't be sold on it but because it was pre 'Cruise is Crazy' and pre 'Pitt is a mega star' it words

I still need to re-watch Total Recall -- I barely remember it. I believe I saw the director's cut? The violence was quite extreme.
