man i love this blog! it's like i'm reading in the future. :)

hope cate blanchett wins this time! boo to political gwyneth win in '99.

evermoon said...

Thanks! Yup, I also really hope Cate wins. But a nom isn't even a sure thing, so for now I just hope she gets that.

J.D. said...

I swore Beowulf wasn't eligible... Hm.

Ron said...

It will be released on November 16 this year, so unless that date is moved, it will be eligible for the 80th.

Debby said...

dude, i love your bolg, but could you change the color?

evermoon said...

hi! what about the colors specifically?

Marfil said...

Hello! I´m from Brazil and i like your blog very much, but do you need really put your predictions in alphabetical order? It to bad for others oscarbuzzers like me, for example... (Sorry my worst english. I speak portuguese...)

evermoon said...

Hi! Only my summarized predictions and predictions on the categories other than the top 8 are alphabetized. If you go to the individual pages on predictions for the top 8 (pic, dir, actor, actress, supp actor, supp actress), you'll see that they're arranged by likelihood of getting a nom. Thanks for visiting the blog!

Unknown said...

sir ron the oscar oracle,
have you read the book version of the lovely bones?
it's a real good read.

evermoon said...

hi teppie! yes, i have! i really liked it :p i'm confident that peter jackson will give us a great adaptation.

raz said...

Being that the ACademy expanded the number of Best Pic noms to 10 and the reviews of the film are seemingly exceedingly through the roof, I think "The Hurt Locker" could be given a second look.

evermoon said...

yup, just updated :)

coruja said...

Just one thing: the script for An Education, written by Nick Hornby, is not an adapted screenplay, it's an original screenplay. Thanks for the predictions.

evermoon said...

Hi! I thought so, too, at first. But according to its IMDb entry, it's based on the memoirs of Lynn Barber. Incontention.com, Awardsdaily.com, and TheFilmExperience.net also all peg it as an Adapted Screenplay :)

Anonymous said...

Monique and Christoph have locks in the supporting acting categories. But Melanie laurent deserves a nom. And though up has animated locked up, I want ponyo or coraline to win. And 9 will not get nom'd for animation either.

evermoon said...

I think you're right about 9 not getting a nod, Andrew.

October updates in a few :)

JPY said...

For Documentaries, are Food Inc. and Capitalism: A Love Story in the running?

evermoon said...

Yup, as far as I know, they are.

Unknown said...

I really hope that Meryl Streep wins for Julie and Julia!!!!!!

evermoon said...

I'd also love to see Meryl finally win her 3rd Oscar :)

Andrew R. said...

AAAAAHHH WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TEXT! IT'S ALL SMALL AND UNREADABLE!

evermoon said...

I'm beginning to think that Star Trek and District 9 have better chances of getting a Best Pic nod than Bright Star. Where's the support for that film?

Still crossing my fingers for a surprise Zoe Saldana nom for Supporting, but I know it's highly unlikely :)

Ponyboy said...

District 9 just started to sprint in the race. Likely to replace Nine, and get a adapted screenplay nomination (director too?).

evermoon said...

yup, i agree with both points :)

Andrew R. said...

Any plans to update your picks now that the nominees are out?

(The Blind Side? WTF?)

evermoon said...

Done. And yeah, WTF indeed.

Unknown said...

I admire the work of Anne Hathaway especially in this movie where she presents her romantic side. A funny fact, I was looking for another movie related to a group of guys who Buy Viagra in order to improve their sentimental relationships but I watched this instead because of the name he he.

evermoon said...

So you've seen the movie? What do you think of Anne's Oscar chances?

Andrew R. said...

Can you please get rid of all the spam? (For the record, that guy Justin is spamming...)

My Predictions:
PICTURE: Another Year, Black Swan, Fighter, Inception, Kids Are All Right, King's Speech, Never Let Me Go, Social Network, Toy Story 3, Way Back

Alternates: 127 Hours (very dependent on Franco), Miral (not getting raves), True Grit (Coens are going to miss a nom eventually), Winter's Bone (loved it, but it's pretty indie).

DIRECTOR: Aronofsky, Choldenko, Fincher, Leigh, Nolan

Alternates: Boyle (could we have a Picture/Director split with 10 nominees? Plus, I was reluctant to pick Aronofsky-too risque)

ACTOR: Bardem, Bridges, Duvall, Firth, Gosling

Alternates: Franco (either performance could work, but it might split votes)

ACTRESS: Bening, Lawrence, Manville, Portman, Williams

Alternates: Kidman (when is the film coming out?), Swank (that trailer turned me off so much-it was so Oscarish it made me sick), Wright (I just don't feel it happening)

S. ACTOR: Bale, Galifanakis, Murray, Ruffalo, Rush

Alternates: Rockwell (see Swank). For the record, I really, really, really doubt a Cassel nomination.

S. ACTRESS: Bonham-Carter, Knightley, Leo, Stewart (Welcome to the Rileys-Gandolfini might get Lead, so she might be Supporting? This is mostly because I just don't see Moore and Wiest getting nominated), Thomas

Alternates: Moore (category confusion), Wiest (they have never given anyone 3 S. Actress awards)

here are my predictions for the upcoming year:

http://howtobesquare.tumblr.com/post/6097675077/early-2011-oscar-predictions-this-is-my-first

Yjinkscrawler said...

Best Animaton is 3 films. Oh and by the way it is too early to predict, there could be that film that appears from nowhere to stun and impress audiences everywhere like "Precious" or "Winters bone" then again I do understand that this is predictions and not the real thing. It's still a nice wee list you got there. Also wouldn't it be the 2012 Academy awards. You forgot the potential of 'Tinker, tailor, soldeir spy' the new mission impossible and the fact that David Finchers last two films got nominations for Best Director so Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a possibility.

Plus you gave Xmen first class a C+ when Thor got an A. I disagree.

Nice blogs anyway man

Claire said...

You have a nice blog. Try to visit my blog too www.claire-fernandez.blogspot.com... Thanks

San said...

Great predictions! I have high hopes for Extremely Loud, since I really enjoyed the book, and in my opinion Eric Roth did well on The Horse Whisperer and Benjamin Button. :D Also for War Horse because I'm a sucker for horse movies.

Personally I don't think Tree of Life is getting a Best Motion Picture nom, if only because I hear it catered to only a certain artsy faction of the audience. (I haven't watched it though, but my friends have described it as being like watching a nature screensaver, haha.) For Cinematography, though, I'd totally agree.

The animation category almost always makes me depressed, because as much as I love Disney and Pixar, I'd like to see a film from a lesser-known/foreign studio win once in a while. That hasn't happened since...Spirited Away, I think? Or was it Triplets. Anyway, also hoping for a non-Disney/Pixar win this year. :D

Wow this was a lot longer than I intended it to be. Sorry for the text walls!

(Also Sir Ron is this really you O_O as in the Sir Ron who teaches Bio 9 A.)

evermoon said...

Amended my predictions and removed Tree of Life from my predictions list. Yeah, it's really an acquired taste.

I agree with your comment on the Animated Feature category. There's almost always one non-Pixar or non-mainstream film in the mix. Last year it was The Illusionist by Sylvain Chomet (France).

Yup, it's me :) I suppose you're in my class... Who are you? :)

nice! cool!
