Post No Guts No Glory nominations predictions!
Okay, what are your bravest predictions for the Oscar ballot to be revealed on February 2nd? And I mean really gutsy predictions, not something like District 9 or Star Trek getting a BP nom!


Mine:

- Anthony Mackie will get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Hurt Locker
- District 9 will have eight or more nominations in total
- Emily Blunt will get a Best Actress nom for The Young Victoria

Bring on your crazy calls! :)

The Oscars will be watchable.

Brings up a good question... Can a movie with a made up language be eligible for a nom?

I think yes (as long as it's produced outside the US).

According to the Academy (http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawa ... ule14.html), a foreign language film is:

Quote:

defined as a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States of America with a predominantly non-English dialogue track.



But with some restriction:

Quote:
Accurate English-language subtitles are required.

It needs to be submitted by a country where the language is an official spoken language, though.

Well I think so

1. Sandra Bullock will win The Best Actress
2. Avatar will be nominated for Best Screenplay
3. Star Trek and District 9 both combined will not grab even a single award

I think the Golden Globes will make or break Sandra Bullock's chances of winning. If she gets the best actress award and gives a very well received speech, it will certainly help her immensely. She'll be in a $250 m film afterall and this really is Erin Brockovich the sequel even if the traditional critics aren't giving her their full support. The public is!

Hmm, I'd bet a lot of money against that, heh.
