Producers Guild Predictions and No Guts, No Glory

Our Producers Guild prediction contest closes tomorrow AM.  We’ll be sending a $25 online Amazon gift card to the lucky winner.  You can still enter.  Feel free to put your No Guts, No Glory pics here – please no more than three choices.

Meanwhile, here are my predictions for the PGA ten. Ryan’s follow [shortly], and I’ve also asked one of my Oscar Poker podcast partner Boxoffice.com‘s Phil Contrino for his.

Best Picture
The Artist
The Help
The Descendants
Moneyball
Midnight in Paris
War Horse
Hugo
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Alt. Tree of Life
Also possible: Bridesmaids

The Producers could wind up choosing The Ides of March or J. Edgar, too, come to that. I am not certain at all of these predictions. In fact, I feel like it’s a wide open Oscar year in every respect, up to and including the potential winner.

My No Guts, No Glory pic for Best Picture would be Rise of the Planet of the Apes!  I am going to pass on animated this year, but Phil has elected to include his, after the cut.
