Oscar Nomination Predictions: Final Pre-Nomination Rankings!

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/01/18/oscar-predictions-final-pre-nomination-rankings/
So many conflicting signals in the past few days. The Social Network sweeps the Broadcast Film Critics and Golden Globe Awards, but then The King’s Speech
trounces it at the BAFTA nominations, which, unlike the BFCA and
Globes, are from a voting body that has significant overlap with the
Academy. The upshot: My No. 1 Best Picture pick is hanging by a thread.
Then, after winning the BFCA and Globe for supporting actress, Melissa
Leo didn’t even manage to score a BAFTA nomination. How to make sense of
it all? Here are my final rankings before next Tuesday’s Oscar
nominations announcement. You’ll notice I now have True Grit‘s Hailee Steinfeld getting a Best Actress nod, and I also have added Another Year‘s
Lesley Manville to my supporting-actress list as well as lead actress,
though I fear she may miss out on both. For a quick look at how this
year’s likely Oscar contenders have fared in other major awards to date,
check out my Pre-Academy Awards Scorecard.
