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.

Here we go folks, a list of all the nominees, including my tallies and reactions in each category. I didn't do all that terribly. Probably the same as every year. Alternates count as .5 points

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.

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

Screen Actors Guild Predictions 2012

December 14th 2011 06:27
The Screen Actors Guild announces in just a few hours on the west coast. It will be interesting to see if they stick to their normal 'actors voting for well-known actors stance' or if they throw a few new faces into the mix. Here are my predictions for both film and TV. Feel free to share yours below!
