What I Saw: Hanna (84th Oscar Race)

EDITORS NOTE: These predictions were made in April 2011 and reflect what my thinking was at that time.  I have updated my predictions since then, but leave these on the blog for a historical record. For the most updated list of predictions, go to the Tracker Pages in the upper right hand corner of this blog.

What I Saw: Hanna

Oscar Chances: As of today, this film’s best chances are in the original score department, if the Academy goes for this sort of composition:

Score: Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as The Chemical Brothers (currently ranked 12)

Additionally, there are a few other categories where it might be a long shot:

Best Director: Joe Wright (currently ranked 44)
Lead Actress: Saoirse Ronan (currently ranked 36)
Film Editing: Paul Tothill (currently ranked 27)
Sound Editing (currently ranked 31)
Sound Mixing (currently ranked 31)

I have not ranked Cate Blanchett or Eric Bana for their supporting roles, nor am I currently predicting Hanna to be a factor in the original screenplay race.

As always, check the Tracker Pages in the upper right hand corner of this blog for the most updated predictions in all categories!
