Admittedly, not much happened this week, and a LOT is happening next week. But in the sake of being devoted to constantly updating, here are some minor shifts in thought:
1. The Artist (NO CHANGE)
It hasn't slowed down.
2. War Horse (UP THREE)
More reviews suggest this is going to run wild at the major shows. If the Globes go ga-ga for it, it's sticking around.
3. The Descendants (DOWN ONE)
It'll be interesting to see how the BFCA, HFPA, and others nominate the movie. Somehow I suspect it could go lukewarm as a major player.
4. The Help (NO CHANGE)
A well-timed DVD release reminds everyone what a heartwarming movie it is, and why movies about white people helping marginalized people always score big.
5. Hugo (DOWN TWO)
The critics seem to really like it, but the box office is not big. Is there not as much traction as we'd like to believe? Will people simply vote for The Artist instead (since they're both movies-about-movies)?
6. Moneyball (NO CHANGE)
I'm dying to see how the Golden Globes receive it.
7. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (UP TWO)
I know no one's seen it yet, and I keep bumping it around, and it looks terrible to me -- but I just can't come up with a reason why it won't do well.
8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (DOWN ONE)
The only thing on this list with any kind of big box office status. That counts for something.
9. Midnight in Paris (UP ONE)
It's going to gain some steam in the next week. Just watch.
10. Beginners (UP ONE)
More top ten mentions = better chances.
11. The Tree of Life (DOWN THREE)
As much as I want to believe it will get in, I need more convincing.
