Predix as of 12/5/09

Most likely Oscar nominees (as of 12/5/09). Will be interesting to see how Nine, The Lovely Bones and Avatar land over the next week or so...could be some significant changes. No matter how you look at it Best Picture feels real thin. There are some really outstanding performances in play this year, and it's exciting to think we could finally watch Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore collect awards. The NY and LA critics awards are announced this week. Look out for them to pull some interesting surprise choices.
