Finally, my favorite season of the year has just started!. The Oscar Buzz is everywhere, so it was the right time to start an official thread for it.
I’ve been reading a lot of articles and so far this is what’s been happening.
Best Picture
The front runner (and by far, according to some), is the long awaited Steven Spielberg drama about the 70’s Olympics, “Munich”. The people from the Academy love Spielberg, and they have been waiting for him to show up again with another great picture, after 1994’s ultimate award champion, The Schindler’s List, which won every single trophy on earth. The closest to Munich could be George Clooney’s noirish film “Good Night, And Good Luck”, which has had incredibly good reviews all over the place. “Walk The Line” is getting more and more buzz, so who knows.
So, those are the top 3 to date, just ahead of the Venice winner “Brokeback Mountain”, and the comeback Woody Allen flick “Match Point”, which has received a lot of attention lately too, and “Memoirs of A Geisha”.
To fill the comedy spot, there’s the british “Mrs. Henderson Presents” and “The Family Stone”, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Keaton.
Cannes western hit “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” and “Capote” complete the list.
Best Director
These are the top possibilities:
Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain
Tommy Lee Jones for The Three Burials.
Steven Spielberg for Munich.
Best Actress
Tribecca’s film festival winner Felicity Huffman is a safe bet at this point, for her acclaimed performance as a preoperative male to female transsexual in the December release “Transamerica”. The Emmy win and all the buzz around Desperate Housewives should help too.
But no, she isn’t the lock in the category. Reese Witherspoon (the wife in “Walk The Line”) is, and looks like she could even win the award, according to the critics.
Charlize Theron for North Country completes the top 3 at the moment, but look up for Joan Allen (“The Upside of Anger”), Judi Dench (“Mrs. Henderson Presents”) and Gwyneth Paltrow for “Proof”, whose performance, despite the mixed reviews for the movie, was pointed out as outsdaing. Expect an snub though.
Best Actor
The category has 3 locks so far: Joaquin Phoenix for his performance as Johnny Cash in “Walk The Line”, Phillip Seymour Hoffman for “Capote” and David Straihairn for “Good Night, And Good Luck”. It would be quite difficult for them not to get into the final 5, considering they even are the 3 battling for a win.
Eric Bana (“Munich”) is a possibility, eventhough we know barely nothing about his role.
Venice festival winner Tommy Lee Jones (“The Three Burials…”) could make it as well, á la Clint Eastwood if he gets a nod for best director too.
Heath Ledger’s buzz is getting quite big these days for his role in Brokeback Mountain, though the Tom Cruise effect may hurt his chances. Viggo Mortensen (A History Of Violence) is in the list too, as well as Ralph Fiennes, who has 2 ways: “The Constant Gardener” and “The White Countess”, if you ask me, the first of the two may have more chances.
Best Supporting Actress
Uma Thurman is the one with the most chances for her role in “The Producers”.
Diane Keaton is almost a lock too, for “The Family Stone”.
Scarlett Johanson (Allen’s “Match Point”) is another quite safe bet if the studio makes a campaign for her in the supporting category.
Gong Li (Memoirs Of A Geisha) and Katherine Keener (Capote) are 2 other “maybes”.
Best Supporting Actor
The frontrunner is Bob Hoskins for Mrs. Henderson Presents. Peter Sasgaard for Jarhead and Daniel Craig (Munich), as well as Paul Giamatti (specially after the awful snub last year), are among the “likely to score a nod too.
Animated Feature
“Wallace and Grommit” and “The Corpse Bride” are the locks. Miyazaki’s “Howl Moving Castle” is willing to repeat the “Spirited Away” nod and win, and depending on the critic support, “Chicken Little” could be there too. Oh, and of course, Madagascar could be in too, considering the awful Shark Tale made it last year.
Screenplay
“Match Point” in the original category, “Crash” and “Brokeback Mountain” in the adapted one are the locks so far. (Please academy voters, get it right this time and give it to Crash!).

Oh Mikal, Memoirs has been dead for WEEKS! Where have you been?
The smart posters at OW have pretty much distilled the BP race into 8 films (and I agree with them): BBM (lock), WTL (lock), Munich, Kong, Cinderella Man (It's making a comeback!), GNAGL, Capote and Crash.
I still believe that P&P and The New World can rally though!

Best Picture ranking post GG effect:
1.Brokeback Mountain - (unstoppable)
2.Good Night, And Good Luck - the NBR winner with GG support.
3.Walk The Line -its 2 lead actors will win GG's, and the movie itself will win it too, plus appeareances in various critics lists.
4.Munich -no major Critics support, no big Golden Globe support, the only thing that keeps it is just that it's a serious movie directed by Spielberg. Desperately needs guilds support.
5.King Kong -one of the best reviewed films of the year, will have huge box office. Director GG nomination for Jackson.
6.Crash -a critic darling with no big Golden Globe support, the buzz is still there after so many months. Guilds are needed to keep in the run.
7.Match Point -it seemed dead by yesterday, and now it's back in the game. The guilds will give it the right push to get Kong out of the top5.
8.Capote -fading away really fast.
9.The Constant Gardener - the suprise of the morning, by yesterday it wasn't even in the run. It's still unlikely unless something big happens (like a win in the GG), which is even more unlikely.
10.A History Of Violence -see The Constant Gardener
Rest In Peace
- Cinderella Man -no, simply, NO.
- The New World.

The GG's are crowd pleasers - they tend to nominate random people just for the shock value. Examples include Will Ferrell this year and Renee (Bridget Jones 2) last year. However, they are on with the winners

Color me more surprised that Amy Adams and the Crash guys got in.
But if Russel gets an Oscar nod over a more derserving Terrence Howard or Viggo, Imma be pissed. Even more than if Charlize does get the nom she shouldn't have.
