"Hey Mom, I coulda been a contender…(In 'The Tree of Life')."
Oh boy, where do I even begin. All of us at The Awards Circuit had many of our predictions thrown back in our faces when the 2012 Academy Award Nominations were announced last month. None of us had a clue how many films would be up for “Best Picture,” and what kind of surprises were in store for us concerning the new Oscar voting system, where only the top selected film from each Academy member’s list would garner a nomination if it received 5% of the total vote. Actually, our predictions weren’t too spot off collectively, but this awards season certainly wasn’t an easy one for us prognosticators. We now find ourselves making our final Oscar predictions, just one week shy of the Academy Award ceremony. This time, however, we not only have the enjoyment of predicting the winners of this year’s Academy Awards, but we also get to have a little bit of fun with some personal discourse by stating who we think should win from this year’s list of nominees. Finally, it’s high time the staff at the Awards Circuit discussed snubs that angered us to the core by contributing our choices for “Who Should Have Been Nominated.” Here are my Oscar 2012 Will Win/Should Win/Should Have Been Nominated selections:
