Predict the Best Picture Nominees - 2011
« on: November 15, 2011, 04:01:49 PM »
Time once again. Just like last year and the year before. These are not your 10 favorites, but the 7-10 you think will actually be nominated.

Entering Oscar Season.  Lock in your Answers now. 

I've allowed you to change your vote, so we'll see how the landscape changes throughout the season. I'll post my usual weekly updates.
I'm also letting you vote for 10, but if you think there will be less than 10, feel free to cast less votes.

And don't forget to talk about this an other categories over at Totoro's Official 2011 Academy Awards Prediction Thread!

Dear Mods,

Sorry to disturb you but the option to change your votes seems to be absent and this poll won't work without it.

So far I only feel comfortable with these:

Midnight in Paris
The Artist
The Descendents
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Tree of Life
The Help
Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy

War Horse looks so childish, though I think its the lead of those I didn't add in.  Dragon Tattoo has the problem with it being out just last year in another form and being really dark and Fincher having what should've been a best picture only last year.  Moneyball just seems like air. And I don't have a good hold on Young Adult's position yetqooc?

Is Tinker Tailor out there yet? (I didn't see it in the best films Filmspot). It's been lined up as Oscar bait. Why delay releasing it in the US otherwise? It isn't mainstream but I think it will be right up Filmspotters' street.

Na, comes out in limited release on the 9th set to platform.  Oldman is getting some solid actor buzz from it but with Clooney, Dujardin, Fassbender, DiCaprio, Pitt and Shannon out there its gonna be another tough race for that category again.

iKeith!, you tend to me more wired in to the Philly film scene than I, so I was wondering if you had any idea when that new Cronenberg film is set to release. I thought it was supposed to be the 25th, but the electronic newsletter I got from Landmark didn't mention it. Just My Week With Marilyn on Wednesday (which sort of sucks, because much like A Dangerous Method the Rave in Voorhees has posters with both of those as coming soon, but I need to give priority to Scorsese on Wednesday and Cronenberg on Friday if it happens), Le Havre on Friday (which I reckon should take priority over everything), and something else I didn't pay much attention to at the time.
