Screen Actor Guild Awards Predictions

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

Tonight is the final major awards show before the Oscars and a lot is at stake. The spotlight is on the actress race, where Meryl Streep faces off against Viola Davis. Streep won the Golden Globe while Davis won the Broadcast award, so tonight serves as the tiebreaker. The winner becomes the de facto frontrunner for the Oscar. There is milder drama in the Best Actor race. George Clooney appears on the way to his first lead Oscar win, but you cannot discount Jean Dujardin, winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actor Musical/Comedy. Many in the industry think that…

Producer’s Guild Award Tonight May Change Everything

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Tonight may be the most critical night in the entire Best Picture race. The Producer’s Guild is the first major guild to vote and their Best Picture race adopts the same preferential ballot used by the Academy. Historically, the Producer’s Guild, along with the Director’s Guild have dictated the Best Picture winner more than any other group or organization. There is no better illustration than the last two years. In 2010, “Avatar” had just won the Golden Globe for Best Picture drama and was soaring at the box office. Most pundits were predicting that Cameron would saunter off with his…

“The Descendants” and “The Artist” garner top Globes honors

Monday, January 16th, 2012

“The Artist,” continues to impress, racking up three Golden Globe Awards including Best Picture Musical/Comedy and Best Actor for Jean Dujardin. But “The Descendants” is right on its heels, thanks to wins for Best Picture Drama and Clooney nabbing Best Actor. In a minor surprise, neither Payne or Hazanavicius won Best Director. It went to the beloved Martin Scorsese instead. Streep’s win for Best Actress Drama was no surprise, since she is well liked by the Hollywood Foreign Press. It sets up a three way contest for the Oscar with her, Michelle Williams, and Viola Davis. Meanwhile, it looks like…

Golden Globe Awards Predictions

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) weighs in tonight with their annual awards ceremony. Over the last few years, the Globes have had less of an influence in the Best Picture race and more in the acting categories. Past Best Picture drama winners “The Social Network,” “Avatar,” and “Atonement” all failed to win the Oscar. However, tonight could go a long way to cementing the frontrunners in the acting categories should the winners from the Broadcast Critics Awards triumph again. On particular interest are the Best Actor and Actress Drama categories where George Clooney faces off against his good friend…

The Artist wins Best Picture at the Broadcast Film Critics Awards

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

Can anyone stop “The Artist” now?  The French indie hit racked up four Broadcast Film Awards including Best Picture, Director, and Score. Having won the top prize at Cannes, along with the New York Film Critics Award and now this, “The Artist” is your undisputed frontrunner. Still, as illustrated by last year, when “The Social Network” won everything in sight, then lost the Oscar, anything can happen. In the acting categories, George Clooney and Viola Davis solidified their frontrunner statuses with victories and moving speeches, especially on the part of Davis. They will be hard to beat, particularly because their…
