July really isnt all that early, Sundance and Cannes have already and gone leaving us with a few truly viable contenders like they do every year. Also, we have seen a Pixar masterwork, an amazing franchise reboot in star Trek, an arthouse disguised as a summer tent pole with Public Enemies and the bonafied raved The Hurt Locker, Sundance gave us An Education and Precious, Cannes confirmed those two along with Bright Star, Fish Tank, A Prophet and to a lesser wxtent Antichrist, Broken Embraces & Inglorious Basterds. So to say it is too early is not a really an apt statement any more. A month or two ago yes that was true but as of now it's not. Just look at the last few years summer month's which brought us Wall-e, Ratatouille, Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, Tropic Thunder, The Bourne Ultimatum, Crash, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Sicko, and The Devil Wears Prada. All of which were highly buzzed about Oscar contenders that paid off in the end. So as of now, anybody could justafiably put together a predictions list that looks better than the one on this site, which I of course realize is just one person's opinions which I respect, but some of the shots that were called are just all over the place and ridiculous. The same could be said for last year, but when we had the Igloo the predictions were much more acurate and spot on. |
