Random Somewhat Out On A Limb Oscar Nomination Predictions, Because You Care
(Although if you live on the East Coast, by the time you’re reading this, I will have probably already been proved wrong on all of these)
-The big stories will be the suprisingly good showing by War Horse and how Hugo has the second most nominations overall and is it now the new favorite to upset The Artist? (the anser is yes)
-There will be 6 Best Picture nominees. Midnight in Paris will not be among them.
-Terrence Malick will get the 5th Best Director slot
-Not saying there will be, but if there’s a nomination that has everyone saying “WTF, where the hell did that come from?”, it will be either Tom Hardy for Best Actor for Warrior or Carey Muligan for Best Supporting Actress for Shame
-At least half of the Best Song field will be songs from The Muppets.
-You’re going to be very tired very soon of all the facebook status updates about Melissa McCarthy’s nomination
