It’s always important to remember that Oscar predictions before all of the movies have been seen is not unlike spitting in the wind. You might get lucky and hit your mark but most likely, it splatters every which way.
Gold Derby now joins the fray and along with Gurus of Gold, two different groups with some crossover, many are predicting films that are still question marks. I don’t trust anyone who pretends to know how the Oscar race is going to go until they’ve seen everything. It’s complete insanity, my friends. So, as always we must take this, along with the Gurus, with a grain of salt. Unless there’s something I don’t know. Does the very act of predicting films that haven’t yet been seen help or hurt those movies? It’s hard to know. Does fake, generated buzz count as real buzz? Would a journalist see these predictions and say “War Horse has Oscar buzz.” Maybe. I don’t have the answers. Not yet anyway. So here is how it’s shaking down so far.
Head on over to Gold Derby and check things out.
