Oscar Predictions Update: Post-Toronto Thoughts

0 0

Well the Toronto Film Festival has ended, and though I have barely paid attention to this or Telluride it seems like I should update my Oscar predictions.

-The Imitation Game came away with the Audience Award at Toronto and as the Weinstein Company’s best hope at Best Picture, you can assure this will affect the race in a big way. The only other major thing of note from Toronto was that Julianne Moore seems to have a Best Actress contender on her hands and though I was tempted to throw her in the lineup, lets give it another festival before then. Anyways here are my Oscar predictions.
