Updates & Opinion

Predictions are listed in a sequential order. The "Last Week" rating lists where the Contender was listed the week prior and the "Up/Down" arrows are a graphical indicator of the trend they follow from the week before.

NOTES: I remain only confident in slots 1-3 but the final two spots may be up for grabs all throughout the nomination process. Sandra Bullock has been added to the conversation for her performance in The Blind Side, but I see her having a much better shot at a Golden Globe nomination rather than an Oscar nod. Maggie Gyllenhaal has also been added due to buzz generated from the late Fox Searchlight addition Crazy Heart.
