I realize that I haven't so much as touched my sidebar predictions since they first went up a couple of months ago, most likely because the vast majority of the presumed contenders still have not been seen. This is a back-heavy year if I ever saw one. Anywho, some updates:
-With Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar now slated for a 2011 release, I have no problem with putting it down for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Original Screenplay, Art Direction, and Costume Design.
-One audience-charmer that found an audience in Cannes is Michael Hazanavicius' silent film The Artist, which could find support in Best Picture, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, and Score.
-Against my initial instincts, I'm guessing that both of Spielberg's projects this year might make it in, so I've added Tintin to Best Picture to go along with War Horse (whose recently released teaser makes it look as Oscary as you can get).
-Some minor adjustments in all the craft categories, hardly worth reiterating here.
