Well, as the fall labors on, and my life continues to hang in limbo (the nomadic lifestyle - I don't recommend it), October has arrived. And with it, a new batch of predictions from yours truly about the state of the Oscar race.

Doubt Rebecca Hall gets a nod in such a crowded year but that would be neat!
I swear, if either Secretariat or Conviction get anything, anything at all, I will lose faith in the Oscars entirely. Also, the world will implode.
Castor: I don't know - it sort of feels like she's built up enough cache that it could happen with enough momentum for The Town.
Simon: Ha! Somehow I feel like your faith in the Oscars was probably lost sometime around the announcement of The Blind Side for Best Picture... :)
You know me so well.
If the rumor is true, and Julianne Moore is placed in the Supporting category, she should get a nod for "Kids Are All Right".
Not sure "The Town" will maintain its following coming into January...
