2011 Precursor Predictions: British Academy Awards
We are certainly a bit more rusty in predicting the British Academy Awards, but that doesn’t stop us from trying. Every year, the BAFTA presentation ends up becoming more Oscar-portentous each time out. So, we look to these awards to act as a sort of mirror for what might be on Oscar voters minds. They…

2011 Precursor Predictions: Visual Effects Society
Peter has said he isn’t terribly confident about his predictions here, largely because the minds of the VES voters are so foreign to us. I have a tendency to agree with this as they have made some off-the-wall selections in the past. Still, we will give it a go and while I have a bit…

2011 Precursor Predictions: Annie Awards
Last year, I did amazingly well with my Annie Awards predictions. This year, I’m not as confident because the playing field is so stranegly different, especially considering the Oscar nominations, so most of my guesses (and those of Peter and Tripp) are simply that: guesses. ANNIE AWARDS Best Animated Feature The Adventures of Tintin (Peter)…

2011 Precursor Predictions: DGA & SAG
Saturday and Sunday, two of the major Oscar precursors present their awards. The DGA will announce first on Saturday at a gala dinner that we’ll get snippets from, but won’t be able to see. If you see anyone with a giant medallion plaque in the media, be wary. The first four silver ones will be…
