For me, the awards season really jump-starts when the National Board of Review releases its list of honorees. Last year they were the first group to single out eventual winners Slumdog Millionaire and Penelope Cruz. Their lead-acting winners almost always go on to earn Oscar nods (I’m thinking it’ll be Colin Firth and Meryl Streep this time), but I’m most curious to see what their top 10 list looks like when their winners are announced tomorrow. Actually, it’s more like a top 11, since they name a Best Picture winner and then a separate top 10. My predictions are below; tell me yours in the comments and we’ll see who gets the most correct.
Best Picture
Up in the Air
Top 10
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Invictus
It’s Complicated
The Lovely Bones
The Messenger
Nine
A Serious Man
A Single Man
Precious
