2004 at the Oscars
Warner Bros.’ last minute decision to open Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby in December, 2004 instead of February, 2005 threw a monkey wrench in everyone’s Oscar forecast this year. Up to that point, the front-runners had been Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator; Marc Foster’s Finding Neverland and Alexander Payne’s Sideways with some prognosticators even predicting unlikely…

The only real suspense was in guessing what the other nominees would be. Three of the major precursors, the New York Film Critics, the Broadcast Film Critics…
