Well, if you’re up way too early tomorrow morning, you should be amongst the first to check out this year’s Oscar nominations right here on Fandango. It’s a list that’s talked about and overanalyzed all year long, but now we finally get to see which films, directors, actors and actresses the Academy deems the best and brightest of the past year. As you’re probably already aware, this year the Academy decided to shake things up by adding five more films to the Best Picture category, bringing the total to 10 films that will be in the running for Oscar’s biggest award.
And that’s what we’re looking to get from you today: before the official announcement hits tomorrow, which ten films do you think the Academy will nominate for Best Picture? Will any fan favorites like Star Trek or District 9 make the cut? Or will it simply be an extended list of smaller films you’ve never heard of before?
I participated in a poll over at the LA Times’ awards blog The Envelope, and here were my ten predictions for Best Picture. Feel free to use this as a guide, or go nutty with your own predictions.
