2012 Oscar Nomination Predictions

Best Picture

"The Artist" 

"The Descendants" 

"The Help"

"Hugo"

"Midnight in Paris"

"Moneyball"

Αν είναι παραπάνω με σειρά προτεραιότητας οι εξής:

"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," "War Horse", "Bridesmaids" "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "The Ides Of March"

Best Director

Michel Hazanavicius, "The Artist" 

Alexander Payne, "The Descendants"

Martin Scorsese, "Hugo"

Woody Allen, "Midnight in Paris" 

Terrence Malick, "The Tree of Life"

(alt. David Fincher, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo")

Νομίζω ότι η τετράδα είναι ψιλοσίγουρη και η πέμπτη θέση είναι σπαζοκεφαλιά. Δεν θέλω με τίποτα Fincher οπότε βάζω τον Malick. Παίζει να έχουμε και καμία έκπληξη με κανέναν Tate Taylor για το "The Help"

Best Actor

George Clooney, "The Descendants" 

Jean Dujardin, "The Artist" 

Michael Fassbender, "Shame"

Brad Pitt, "Moneyball" 

Leonardo DiCaprio, "J. Edgar"

(alt. Gary Oldman, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" )

Νομίζω η πεντάδα έχει κλείσει. Μόνο ο Oldman παίζει να εισχωρήσει αν και δεν το καταλαβαίνω αφού η ερμηνεία του δεν ήταν σπουδαία. Fingers crossed για τον Michael Shannon στο "Take Shelter".

Best Actress

Bérénice Bejo, "The Artist"

Glenn Close, "Albert Nobbs"

Viola Davis, "The Help" 

Meryl Streep, "The Iron Lady"

Michelle Williams, "My Week With Marilyn"

(alt. Tilda Swinton, "We Need to Talk About Kevin")

Και εδώ παιρνω το ρίσκο και λέω πως η Bejo θα αναβαθμιστεί σε Lead. Θυμηθείτε Kate Winslet στο "The Reader" αλλά και Keisha Castle-Hughes στο "Whale Rider". Δυστυχώς η Tilda θα την πληρώσει. Μην δω Rooney Mara θα κάνω εμετό.

Best Supporting Actor

Kenneth Branagh, "My Week With Marilyn" 

Albert Brooks, "Drive"

Jonah Hill, "Moneyball"

Nick Nolte, "Warrior"

Christopher Plummer, "Beginners"

(alt. Philip Seymour Hoffman "The Ides Of March")

Μα ο Johan Hill;;; Γιατί;;; Μακάρι να κάνω λάθος. Περιμένω spoiler από Hoffman αλλά φοβάμαι να κάνω επίσημη πρόβλεψη. Αν και πιστεύω ότι θα δούμε τίποτα κουλό αλά Viggo Mortensen.

Best Supporting Actress

Jessica Chastain, "The Help" 

Melissa McCarthy, "Bridesmaids"

Janet McTeer, "Albert Nobbs"

Octavia Spencer, "The Help"

Shailene Woodley, "The Descendants"

(alt. Bérénice Bejo, "The Artist"/Vanessa Redgrave "Coriolanus")

Αν κάνω λάθος η Bejo είναι σίγουρη εδώ. Την McCarthy δεν την καταλαβαίνω όταν αντίστοιχα ο Zach Galifianakis στο "Hangover" δεν ήταν πουθενά. Η Redgrave είναι ικανότατη να μπει στην πεντάδα νομίζω.

Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)

"The Descendants" 

"The Help"

"Hugo"

"Moneyball" 

"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"

Best Writing (Original Screenplay)

"50/50"

"The Artist" 

"Bridesmaids" 

"Midnight in Paris" 

"A Separation"

(alt. "Young Adult"/"Win Win")

Θέλω τόσο πολύ το "A Separation". Μακάρι!!

Best Foreign Language Film

"Bullhead," Belgium

"Pina," Germany

"A Separation," Iran 

"Footnote," Israel

"In Darkness," Poland

(alt. "Superclásico," Denmark)

Αφού λείπει το "La Guerre Est Déclarée" δεν με νοιάζει τίποτα. Απλά θέλω ασυζητητί το "A Separation".

Best Animated Feature Film

"The Adventures of Tintin"

"Chico and Rita" 

"Puss in Boots"

"Rango"

"Winnie the Pooh"

(alt. "Rio")

Ένα μεγάλο ΌΧΙ στο "Cars 2".
