Oscar predix coming
Goal for the weekend: Play the Oscar prediction game. It’s July, and the Oscar year is more than half over. There aren’t many contenders yet, which means I’ll be making, um, educated guesses based on pedigree, prestige, etc.
What I know already is that it is going to be a very different year for Oscar compared to last year. Studios are shuttering their indie labels. Paramount Vantage (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood), Picturehouse, Warner Independent (Good Night, and Good Luck), New Line Cinema (The Lord of the Rings). All gone or absorbed into the main studio. The indie bubble is bursting and with it may go some Oscar hopefuls.
Check back Sunday for more.
