 Every year the Supporting Categories are the hardest to predict. And it makes me so damn frustrated. Grr. This year I am 100% positive two actresses will receive nominations; Octavia Spencer and Berenice Bejo.

 It’s done. With the Giants game in the background (GO GIANTS!!), I’ve completed my Final Oscar Predictions. Some notable things before I’m crucified.
I’ve stuck with seven Best Picture nominees. A big part of me wanted to exclude David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” from the shortlist but if the film would miss a Best Picture nomination, it would be unprecedented. No film has been cited by nearly all the guilds and miss out in the end. It did miss the Golden Globe and SAG nod so it’s very possible to miss. I still believe “War Horse” will make it. Can you imagine an older member of the Academy not checking off his name? I can’t. I’m foreseeing a very low show for Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball,” although I did stick with Jonah Hill but I’m crossing my fingers for him. Even though I respect Scott Feinberg, I still don’t see the “Drive” love coming through to get it nominated. It currently sits at #9 on the predictions but I couldn’t choose the film to be nominated with only one other nomination for Albert Brooks. I think it would need Editing and Cinematography and I don’t see either happening.

 My buddy Joey covered some aspects of the snubs we might see Tuesday morning, but I thought I might weigh from the historical perspective.
It has been happening since the beginning of the awarding of the Academy Awards, a great piece of cinema is snubbed for a nomination as Best Picture while other films, which will be forgotten as time moves along relentlessly manage to make the cut. As far back as 1927, when Cecil B. Demille’s handsome production of The King of Kings (1927) was passed over for a Best Picture nominature, the Academy has made its share of errors. Consider that the following films were NOT nominated for Best Picture and you will see what I mean.
