• Predict This Year’s Highest Grossing Oscar Contender

  
  Awards Daily — Authority: 144
  It’s probably a no-brainer that Avatar is take that title home so perhaps it isn’t worth doing an actual contest on this, but I really like the way Loyal has laid it all out at the Corner Cinema , showing that the lowest grossing of the nominated five has won in a long while.  But the highest grossing only ...

• Precious Kills at the Box Office

  
  Awards Daily — Authority: 144
  EW’s Dave Karger takes a look at Precious’ opening numbers and comes up with the possibility, I think for the first time in the mainstream press, that this film could be the frontrunner.  However, he doesn’t come out and says he thinks it is – just that the possibility is there: Playing in just 18 ...

  Dave Karger's OscarWatch — Authority: 535
  The big-ticket reviews for Precious are beginning to come in. One unqualified rave comes from EW’s own Owen Gleiberman, who gives the drama a flat-out A grade. The best part about Owen’s gushing review? Just three years ago, he slapped Daniels’ first feature, Shadowboxer, with an F. If there were an Oscar for ...

• Precious — What Matters, What Doesn’t

  
  Awards Daily — Authority: 144
  Precious now has a 61 rating on Metacritic.  This might matter more if the film hadn’t yet been screened and won two major awards heading into the race.  Okay, so maybe Sundance isn’t a major award, but for this film it set up a precedent that is likely to continue.  It has heat, it has momentum.  It doesn’t ...

• ‘This Is It’ for Oscar: Really?

  
  Dave Karger's OscarWatch — Authority: 535
  Perhaps the most troubling effect of the Academy’s decision to have 10 Best Picture nominees this season is that whenever any movie does at all well, people start talking Oscar. I for one am certainly guilty of that—remember my Hangover-for-Best-Picture item? And now it’s happening again with the Michael Jackson ...

  Things aren’t anywhere near as quiet as they should be right about now. There hasn’t been a No Country for Old Men stretching its legs for the long haul; there probably isn’t a Slumdog Millionaire poised to eat up every available award known to man. That might be Up in the Air. Is there a showdown between a ...

  Tom O’Neil asked a few of us to send in our thoughts on this idea that the Gothams snubbed Precious and that somehow Oprah was involved.  Or maybe there are two different ideas being floated – one is that Oprah and Tyler Perry are making it uncool to like Precious and the other is that the Gothams snubbed ...
