TIFF means that summer is officially over, but it means critic awards and the actuality of "Oscar nominee Mo'Nique" are almost upon us.
I figured since we are now half way through TIFF and I have been an incredibly lazy blogger, I would now start my first official Oscar predictions of the season.
It'll be incredibly fun to see which ones of these will fall completely off the wayside and who will enter the derby at a later date.
So here goes.
Best Picture
The Hurt Locker
UP
Nine
Precious
Up in the Air
A Serious Man
Invictus
The Lovely Bones
An Education
A Single Man
Best Director
Rob Marshall for Nine
Jason Reitman for Up in the Air
Clint Eastwood for Invictus
Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker
Lee Daniels for Precious
Best Actor
Morgan Freeman for Invictus
Daniel Day Lewis for Nine
George Clooney for Up in the Air
Matt Damon for The Informant
Colin Firth for A Single Man
Best Actress
Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia
Carey Mulligan for An Education
Saoirse Ronan for The Lovely Bones
Gabourey Sidibe for Precious
Abby Cornish for Bright Star
Best Supporting Actor
Stanley Tucci for The Lovely Bones
Matt Damon for Invictus
Christoph Waltz for Inglorious Basterds
Alfred Molina for An Education
Richard King for A Serious Man
Best Supporting Actress
Julianne Moore for A Single Man
Penelope Cruz for Nine
Marion Cotillard for Nine
Mo'Nique for Precious
Anna Kendrick for Up in the Air
So these are incredibly early picks and they've also made me realize that this year definitely doesn't pack the power and punch of the past couple of years. Hopefully a couple of wildcards like A Single Man, Get Low, and Everything's Fine will mix things up. And who the f knows about Malick's The Tree of Life. With Shutter Island moving to 2010, it's looking like a kind of dull Oscar race and I am starting to consider the idea of Academy Award winner Mo'Nique as a real possibility.
