Post-Golden Globes, I'll take a guess at Oscar wins.

Having watched the Industry's three-hour party which takes place about six weeks before its four-hour ceremony of gravitas, I'll make a few guesses about certain likely winners of the latter.
BEST PICTURE: AVATAR
BEST ACTOR: George Clooney (UP IN THE AIR)
BEST ACTRESS: Sandra Bullock (THE BLIND SIDE)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Christoph Waltz (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Mo'Nique (PRECIOUS)
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: (500) DAYS OF SUMMER
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: UP IN THE AIR
BEST DIRECTOR: Kathryn Bigelow (THE HURT LOCKER)

Most overwrought film-critic pull-quote of the year so far.

"It looks right in your eye and tells the truth."--Rex Reed, THE NEW YORK OBSERVER

What movie is that, Rex? THE LOVELY BONES? AN EDUCATION? ANTICHRIST?
UP IN THE AIR? NINE? PRECIOUS?

None of the above.

The quote is being used for Fox Searchlight's awards-nomination ad campaign
for......(500) DAYS OF SUMMER.

Yes, that's right. The overrated, style-trumps-substance (500) DAYS OF SUMMER.
