As the reigning Intermedia Group office Oscars tipping champion, my predictions have some degree of prescient validity. I expect the awards to be split this year, with the six major awards all being won by different films. Only The Fighter can upset this strange occurence, if Mr Bale and Ms Leo both win in the Supporting categories. Interesting tidbit of information: Mr Bale already has an Oscar. Steven Spielberg gave his Best Director Oscar for Schindler's List to Bale as a present in recognition for his work on Empire of the Sun. Bale hadn't yet resumed his career, so Spielberg must have doubted his ability to win one competitively. Melissa Leo was once in my all time favourite procedural drama: Homicide: Life on the Street.

Yeeeeah, I hear you. Of the films nominated for anything, I saw Inception and Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteI saw two films at the cinema during 2010: Avatar and Bran Nue Dae, neither of which was eligible.
