2011-2012 Oscar Predictions

Accurately guessed: 66 of 106

All movie categories, listed from most likely to least likely for nomination, as I see them. These are NOT my personal opinions on what should be nominated in each category, just the movies I feel are most likely to earn nominations in the coming Oscars. Just to warn you, I do believe there are several acclaimed movies that will be largely ignored: Melancholia, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Ides Of March being a few examples.
