GiantCALBears Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 You know this is the first time since 2000 where it seems that there is no clear frontrunner.The story changes, we could have a front runner in a couple weeks based on guilds, writers.

stripe Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I would say when Marty won the DGA The Departed slipped ahead into official frontrunner status. But yeah through January easily it was a very tight race.SAG went to Little Miss Sunshine, and we know the actors branch can be decisive. See Crash winning over Brokeback. This year we really don't have a frontrunner, so SAG will tell us a lot. And right now I think Les Miserables is in the strongest possition to take the SAG ensemble prize. Also, Miserables will win for sure three golden globes in musical/comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I thought it was boring. It was basically Pi and a tiger doing random stuff on a fancy lifeboat.LOP was great plus I love the book so seeing it come to life was great. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Still not true. Only if Hooper misses out at DGA will I approve the death certificate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Les Mis ain't winning Best Picture, but Hooper won two years ago. And it's a marvelous film. So yeah, no harm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 And on this day, Les Mis' chances of winning Best picture died. I'm still thinking its the frontrunner in BP. Lack of Director nom in Globes is almost nothing to fear about. The actors branch will be crucial IMHO. In fact, Globes went with the starpower of Tarantino and it's probable that will not translate to Oscar love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Current BP predictions (if there's 10 spots)1. Les Miserables2. Zero Dark Thirty3. Lincoln4. Argo5. Silver Linings Playbook6. Life of Pi7. Beasts of the Southern Wild8. Django Unchained9. Best Exotic Marigold Hotel10. AmourPossible spoilers: The Master and The Impossible.

Ezen Baklattan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think Lincoln is taking this. Lincoln/ZDT seems like a repeat of King's Speech/Social Network two years ago.However, Lincoln was still a damn great movie, so I'm not too dissapointed about that, and my favorite movie of the year (Cloud Atlas) has zero chance of a nomination, let alone win, so....

CloneWars Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think Lincoln gets BD and Les Mis gets picture. Forget the critics, ZDT will get some techs and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nAlkaline Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Not seeing any reason for the continued LM love. Unless I'm missing something, the reviews aren't particularly great; it should lose momentum over these next few weeks. Lincoln assumes the position of favorite, with Argo and ZDT playing the possible spoiler. Edited December 16, 2012 by nAlkaline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think Lincoln gets BD and Les Mis gets picture.

Jake Gittes Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) When it comes to the main categories, I think ZDT is most likely to win Actress, then Screenplay, then BP, then BD. There is at least one other tough contender in the first two categories (Lawrence and QT), Les Mis, Lincoln, SLP, LOP are all more safe BP choices, and Bigelow's recent win will almost definitely prevent her from taking BD again.Right at this point, I think Lincoln wins BP, BD, Actor and Adapted, ZDT wins Actress and Django wins Original. The only bad thing about that scenario would be SLP missing out on all actual awards, but if Chastain and Tony Kushner's work is truly worth it, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Impact Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 ZDT is not that accurate apparently (Neither was Hurt Locker it seems). But still that wont stop anything.I think Lincoln will win pic/director/actor and possibly supporting.Argo will probably win adapted.

Impact Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Though I do think ZDT will win the Globes. But Oscars I see Lincoln vs. SLP vs. possibly Les M or Argo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
