Not going to bore you all with a lot of info, here are my updated Oscar predictions. The goal this round: be as ruthless as a Black Friday shopper.
Hello fellow Oscar obsessives, did you miss me? It’s been a while since I updated my Oscar predictions but now seems like as good a time as any.
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 subtitle to this post could be a Game of Thrones book, no? Well the Oscar season often feels as though you are going toe to toe with the Mountain for months on end, and right now is sort of the calm before everything begins to hit. In the next three months, we’ll be inundated with festivals, premieres and reviews so here’s some picks before that happens.
Oscar predicting is going to start to get serious (for some) soon and given the summer’s slate of movies, that is possibly a good thing. Anyways, here’s some analysis and predixs!
So…uh…I kinda didn’t like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. That’s probably the best place to start off this review, and also because I don’t really know a better way to get into it. After the wonder that was Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this movie is this new reboot feels akin to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, a boring film with some good sequences that doesn’t quite capture the magic of its predecessor.
