“God Of Carnage” is now “Carnage” (85th Oscar Predictions) 4/7/11

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.

I finally updated to the new title on the tracker pages on the right.

Also, while there is no one consensus on which actors and actresses will go lead versus supporting, I have found convincing several arguments that placed it as follows:

Lead Actress: Jodi Foster
Lead Actor: John C. Reilly
Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet
Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz

I’ve placed them accordingly on the Tracker Pages. IMDB still lists this as a 2012 release date, so I’m sticking with the 85th Oscars instead of the 84th for now.

When I started this Oscar predictions blog, I thought that the hardest part would be guessing who will have a great performance. It turns out that the performance part is easy compared to trying to figure out which year a film will be released, and guessing which category to place our thespians!

Category Confusion (84th Oscars) Updated 3/13/11

EDITORS NOTE: These predictions were made in March 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.

Based on further reading, it looks like a few of my earlier predictions should have been placed into different categories. I’ve updated the tracker pages to reflect the changes below.

Given that the Academy gets categories confused AFTER having seen the films, I’m not going to be too hard on myself for confusing things a year in advance!

Sean Penn moved from Supporting Actor to Lead Actor in This Must Be The Place
James Franco moved from Lead Actor to Supporting Actor in The Iceman
