Out on a Limb

Very few Oscar pundits are out on a limb this year with their predictions. After a while, it seems a little pointless to build a chart where everyone is predicting exactly the same thing. We might as well have one list. But there are some risky choices that may or may not pay off. And those are:

Anne Thompson, Thelma Adams, Anthony Breznican and Pete Hammond saying Annette Bening will win Best Actress
Kevin Polowy likes to take chances so he has Jacki Weaver for Best Supporting Actress
Keith Simanton has Inception to win Best Picture.
Katey Rich and I are predicting Waste Land to win Documentary – a total longshot.
Jeff Wells, Ryan Adams, Kevin Polowy, Richard Roeper and I are predicting The Social Network with Fincher to win Pic and Director – but one would have to be a blind fool to actually predict anything but The King’s Speech to win Best Picture. It really and truly cannot lose.
