Hugo
Moneyball
War Horse
1) 76% of Oscar nominees were nominated for ACE.
A - 71% come from Drama
At least 3 Drama films will make the transition to Oscar. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has the best editing of the year. The Descendants is in a distant second regarding the Best Picture race and an Editing nom is required when it comes to Best Picture. It’s Hugo or Moneyball after that. Hugo has received precursor acclaim when it comes to Film Editing, but I prefer Moneyball.
B - 5% come from Comedy/Musical
Comedy/Musical has never matched more than 1 Oscar nom per year and has not been Oscar-nominated in the last 5 years. That will change this year when The Artist makes the cross-over, but that will be the only film to do so. The Artist is a sure thing
3) 24% of Oscar nominees are not nominated for ACE.
- At least 1, maybe 2 films, will come out of nowhere for an Oscar nomination. I think War Horse gets left out and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy jumps in. If I had to pick another newbie to join the ranks, then I remove Hugo or Moneyball and bring in Drive.
