That being said, I see no reason to pick Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close against the SAG winner, especially since The Help was one of the The Help most successful movies of the year. WHO WILL Hugo Midnight in Paris BEST ACTOR Moneyball The Tree of Life Demián Bichir (A Better Life) TAKE HOME War Horse George Clooney (The Descendants) Jean Dujardin (The Artist) Gary Oldman in (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) The Artist is the favorite Brad Pitt in (Moneyball) THIS YEAR’S to win Best Picture. Clooney was the early favorite, but Dujardin now has the momentum. Not only did Dujardin win the Screen Actor’s Guild Award, but he too has the all-powerful Weinstein Oscar marketing COVETED team behind him. With actors making up the largest voting bloc in the Academy, I wouldn’t bet against SAG - or the Weinsteins. STATUETTES? BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) Jessica Chastain (The Help) Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) Your Oscar ballot Company Weinstein The Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs) The Producer’s Guild Award isn’t as accurate a predictor of Oscar Octavia Spencer (The Help) success as some of the other guild awards, but the past four years cheat sheet. have produced the same winners. Not only did The Artist win the Spencer has won more than her share of the pre-Oscar awards, PGA Award this year, but it has the all-powerful Weinstein Oscar including the all-important SAG Award. Historically, though, marketing team behind it. It’s one thing to bet against the PGA, this category is the most likely to have a surprise winner. The BFE Y R dERICk MINTChELL but it’s another to bet against the Weinsteins. ubiquitous Chastain has also won some critics awards, but if they split the vote, I wouldn’t be at all shocked if Bejo rode The Artist’s BEST DIRECTOR coattails to a win, or if recent Emmy winner McCarthy continued her quest for the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). That P REDICTING THE OSCAR wINNERS Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris) being said, I’m picking Spencer. Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) every year is actually more of a science than a Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Alexander Payne (The Descendants) guessing game.
