I was going to write up a longer post about the state of the Oscar race right now, but the simple truth is that until Awards season proper kicks in sometime early December, nobody really knows anything. For now, I'll simply offer up my first set of real nomination predictions of the year. Here's hoping for some real clairvoyance soon.

Ok, Best Original Score you forgot Never Let Me Go. It's beautiful.
Christian Bale, yes, yes, a thousand time yes!!!
AND GAH. You KEEP forgetting about Iron Man 2 and Eclipse. What kind of Oscar predict-er are you?
Never Let Me Go has been all but forgotten at this point. It's dead. There's no buzz for the film at all, even in the score department. I agree Portman's score is great, but the film opened and vanished off the face of the earth like it never existed. The Fighter screened last night at AFI Fest and the word for Christian Bale is tremendous. Some say he might actually win it. And lol I hope you're not being serious about Iron Man 2 and Eclipse. That will NEVER happen.
DON'T DASH MY DREAMS FOR IM2.
OMG, I really hope Christian gets it finally. I will be so happy with the Oscars for once.
