The First Oscar Predictions of 2010

It's been a long while since I've blogged. This blog title will be modified in the near future because let's be honest, very little stage or tube content is posted here. It's purely screen and that means purely Oscar related.

Speaking of Oscar. We are now in the thick of things. Oscar race 2010 is here in full swing. We've worked through Cannes and TIFF and we are early November.

I must say this year's Oscar race appears to be a bit all over the place and usually this time of year we have potential candidates unrolling weekly. However this year things are different. It isn't all about the November & December releases. We have a slew of summer films that seemed primed to make the top 10 (like Toy Story 3, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, Winter's Bone) some TIFF festival faves that should also factor (The King's Speech, 127 Hours, Black Swan) and some late comers that have yet to be seen by anyone that seemed primed to be major players (True Grit, The Fighter)

So without further ado.

Here are my first official 2010 Oscar predictions.
