It’s funny, depending on the day, I feel like summertime updates to my Academy Award predictions are either superfluous or vital. Frankly, the truth resides somewhere in between (and is kind of ironic to be pondering here on Friday the 13th). We still don’t have any true idea of what the awards season will be […] More
Hmm…so the math on this was a little off. I traditionally do two months per “preview” article, but if I include August in the “Fall Edition” of this then I have to consider October part of the “Winter Edition” and then I have to figure out how to fit three months into that. I could […] More
