 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
Seems that Dave Karger has a pretty solid record (3 or 4/5 in categories), so... Atonement would get the shaft? In favor of Into the Wild? According to the guilds...

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
He neglects Into the Wild a lot there, yeah.
Ruby Dee getting a nom? Really? Nah...I doubt it.
Then again, there's one important thing to remember. Without either Dee or Washington, we'll have a year with not a single African-American nominee. Not in Director/Actor/Actress/Sup. Actor/Sup. Actress anyway.

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
Replace Dee with either Redgrave/Ronan (or Leigh!!!) and these would be quite perfect considering what's going on at the moment. Go Atonement?  I can't think with a cold heart, that's why I'm not making full predictions this year...

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
very good predictions. Swap Atonement for Into the Wild in one or two places and you've basically got my predictions. and that lost OS slot could go to Lars or Knocked Up

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
I read on awardsdaily.com that Dave Karger did these predictions after the DGA nominations.

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
Hmm... I'm still torn on Atonement but Into the Wild should have secured a spot by now as most of us agree.

How accurate is EW? 3 to 4 correct out of 5 on average. Some categories strike 5/5. I can't pull up archives, but I'm pretty sure they nailed some Screenplay and Acting categories in the past.

 Re: Entertainment Weekly's Oscar Predictions
I hope he's right on Linney getting in for actress....she seems to have slightly more buzz lately. But he's so, so off on Atonement...unless he knows something we don't. More likely we know a lot that he doesn't, though.
