The buzz recently seems to suggest the final set of Best Picture nominees will be closer to 5 than 10. I am going with 6, but I don't see Moneyball as being that far above Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy or The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  I just can't fathom that we will end up with 5 nominees.  I am very interested to see where the last spot in the director field and the last two spots in the lead actor field go because they are completely up in the air.  The only big surprise I am predicting in the major fields is that Jessica Chastain is snubbed.  It's just a hunch I have that I hope turns out to be false.  As for nomination leader tallies I've got The Artist with 11 and Hugo with 10.

  1. I've noticed a lot of folks have been cutting their predictions for BP from 8 to 6. Was there a particular bit of buzz that you saw that said that? (I'm trying to figure out if I missed something.)

    I also could see Chastain missing, particularly if some voters split their votes to her other films.

    We'll know VERY SOON!
