| Surprise! – I've adjusted some of the following, and added predix for all 21 races here. Did anyone think this list was really "final"?? |
Now that all the critics' groups and the Hollywood guilds have announced their nominee lineups, and with the Golden Globes sitting around in their velvet satchels waiting to be handed out this Sunday, it's as good a time as any to finalize my list of predicted Oscar nominees. Today is January 13, which means the 5:38am (PST) annoucnement is only 12 days away. Surely everyone wakes up and has mimosas that morning like I do? (Thank goodness I live on the East Coast, and that I don't have a "real" 9-5 job.)
If you've actually been following my revisions of these lists, or if you care to see how my thinking has changed, here is where I started in the middle of November, and here is where I'd arrived by the middle of December, with only the first few critics' awards announced. Not a ton has changed since then, but enough to warrant some final adjustments...
