 Just as important as the Oscar Predictions of the Awards Circuit is the Oscar Tracker which I’ve neglected as of late. I’ve made appropriate changes and additions as I see fit. Official and Staff Oscar Predictions will be updated early this week in case you’re wondering. I’ve also taken the liberty of updating the Golden Globe Predictions page as well.
Explanation of some of the additions or removals which you can see on the page:
- Removal of “The Hunger Games”
March was a long time ago. The Hunger Games had a great box office and probably has the support of a lot of fanboys and fans of the book series. With the openings of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, and the eventual release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, any supporters for a blockbuster will have their votes split. Picture and Director were a longshot anyway, even back in March. Jennifer Lawrence holds on because the lack of quality contenders in the category. Read more on Oscar Tracking and Golden Globe Peaks…

- The Awards Circuit began the week by getting Stone-d. No kids, not that kind of getting “stoned” — the better one which includes being in the presence of the Queen of Oscar Predictions…the one who started it all for us online awards prognosticators…Sasha Stone, Editor-in-Chief and founder of AwardsDaily.com. Sasha Stone was our humble guest on this week’s episode of “Power Hour,” and not only was she a popular and pertinent contributor to the awards race discussion amongst the staff, but she also drew in the largest “Power Hour” audience yet with over 600 “plays.” She gave us a lot of food for thought for the Oscar 2013 race, possibly convincing many to rethink former predictions for the better. Without question, Sasha Stone’s guest appearance on “Power Hour” was the highlight of our week, and we thank her for taking the time out of her schedule to talk Oscars with us!

 Even as more and more encouraging word begins to come out about Marvel’s upcoming ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ project, I still don’t know what to make of it at all. It could be amazing, terrible, or both. The one thing that I do know is that the studio continues to be on the lookout for unique directorial choices. This time, The Hollywood Reporter is writing here that Marvel has zeroed in on cult filmmaker James Gunn as their top choice, though they still have both Peyton Reed as well as the duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck in mind as well. Gunn is an inspired choice in my eyes, though Boden/Fleck are one of my favorites these days, so I applaud their inclusion, even if this is hardly their type of flick. After the jump you can see more, but it appears more likely that Gunn will sign on than anyone else. You can find out more below, but stay tuned to learn much more about this property…
