Oscar noms tomorrow, time to start guessing!

Now, regardless of how silly many feel the Oscars are, I like them.  I like the prestige and I like the fact that films coming out around this time tend to be some choice morsels of cinematic consumption.

Or Season Of The Witch…but that’s not important right now.

So,  here are my predicted picks for an Oscar nomination tomorrow. Films I haven’t seen are marked with a * and I am going on the current momentum built up from other awards and reviews.

Anyway, check out my predictions, come back Tuesday and watch me look baffled if they pull another Globes bout of film madness. If The Tourist creeps into Best Picture…something’s wrong indeed.
