EW, where are the predictions?




I've subscribed to Entertainment Weekly on and off for more than five years, and I always look forward to their Oscar preview issue. This year though, Oscar wasn't even on the cover (Barack was though, so it's aight) and there were no predictions! And no odds on each nominee in the main categories, either. The closest they came was calling Slumdog Millionaire the "frontrunner." Not good enough for me, EW.

Nominated movies I still want to see:

Revolutionary Road (just finished the novel)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doubt

Of the main films this year, so far I've only seen Slumdog and Rachel Getting Married, which were both fantastic.

If only the last trip to the movies hadn't been wasted on stupid Seven Pounds. I tell ya.

Up for tomorrow night are Wall-E (Best Animated Feature nominee) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Penelope Cruz is nominated for a Best Supporting Actress award). VCB is written and directed by Woody Allen, so it's risky in that it could go either in the Match Point (yay) or Scoop (boo).
