Oscars!!
January 29, 2008OK, so the 2007 Oscar nominations were announced last week, and I want to check back at my predictions made in November and see if I had any prescient skill at all. I put together 7 possible picks for each category:
- Best Picture: Right – NCfOM, TWbB, Atment; Left out – MiClayton, Juno; Wrong – Sweeney, Kite Runner, Once, Away from Her — 3:7
- Best Director: Right – Coen Bros., PTA; Left out – Reitman, Gilroy, Schnabel; Wrong – Wright, Polley, Forester, Penn, Lumet — 2:7
- Best Actor: Right – Clooney, Day-Lewis, Mortensen, Depp; Left out – TL Jones; Wrong – Brolin, Denzel, McAvoy – 4:7
- Best Actress: Right – Christie, Blanchett, Cotillard; Left out – Linney, Page; Wrong – Knightely, Kidman, Foster, Russell — 3:7
- Best Supporting Actor: Right – Affleck, Wiklinson, Bardem, Holbrook; Left out – PS Hoffman; Wrong – Foster, TL Jones, Dano — 4:7
- Best Supporting Actress: Right – Blanchett, Swinton, Adams, Ronan; Left out – Dee; Wrong – JJ Leigh, Redgrave, HB Carter – 4:7
Not terrible. Could you tell Juno was nowhere near my radar at the time?
