Just like last year, I made an obscenely long list of all the positives and negatives that came with the Oscar nominees. This year, I’ve got a whole lot of frustrations, so get ready for a whole lot of bitching. Remember people, these are my mostly instant reactions to the wonderful world of the Academy. Some of these are popular and some will leave many surprised. So, y’know, whatever. Have fun. YAM Magazine » Archive » Juan’s Two Cents – The 85th Academy Award Nominees Edition

thechosenjuan: I have had literally nothing to do at work this morning so here’s a list of predicted nominees for tomorrow’s Oscar announcement. Obviously I included more films per category than will be nominated because it’s pretty much the order I think they’re likely to win/get nominated at all.

Oscar Predictions List #3 (Nov 25)

It’s already been a nice long month since my last list update and I’ve seen a few more 2012 films that are going to be part of things. I’m also formatting this in a new style. Each category will have 5 numbers/bullets/nominees. The bolded choice is the winner (if more than one is bolded, I’m iffy). The sixth spot will be used for up to TWO alternatives if there are any in my mind. The only exceptions to these rules are best picture, short films, make-up, and original song. Enjoy!
