NOTES:
The Artist is getting closer to take the Oscars home. winning in both best film and directer.
George Clooney is winning the Oscars mark my words. Pitt is the only danger.
Viola Davis is winning the Oscars too, she's kinda a lock.
So far Michel Hazanavicius is winning every major award, but remember last year with Aaron for The Social Network?
The original screenplay this year is the weakest catogery. Midnight in Paris and The Artist are the only two movies worth to be there.
the adopted screenplay was Alexander Payne's only award but Aaron Sorkin for Moneyball won it! That's great the writing was amazing. could he win the Oscars two years in a row? .
Janusz Kaminski for War Horse winning cinematography from Emmanuel Lubezki of Tree of Life. Shocking, Emmanuel was winning every major award so far he never loses.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo winning editing! That's huge, I guess I'm very sure to say that Tattoo is a locked for atleast 4 nominations in the Oscars.
Gary Oldman is far away from the Oscars. One of the most underrated actor of all time.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is getting weaker, but I feel it in my guts that it going to get an Oscar Best Picture nomination.
