What I Saw: The Conspirator (84th Oscar Race)
EDITORS NOTE: These predictions were made in May 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: The Conspirator
Oscar Chances:
Best Picture (currently ranked 33)
Lead Actress: Robing Wright (currently ranked 38) (She might have a better chance if they campaign her as supporting, but that’s a tough sell for a title character.)
Lead Actor: James McAvoy (currently ranked 35)
Original Screenplay: James Solomon (currently ranked 29)
Art Direction: Kalina Ivanov and Melissa Levander (currently ranked 26)
Costume Design: Louise Frogley (currently ranked 23)
Overall, I enjoyed this historical narrative, but anticipate that the film will be forgotten by the time Oscar rolls around.
