| Linklater's Boyhood could be the big winner on my ballot next year. |
In a foolhardy attempt, I decided to predict what my 2014 ballot will look like by this time next year. I'm curious to see how well I can predict my own choices, especially since I've only seen three films mentioned below. Obviously, I've overlooked some films/performances and deliberately left out others than might change the outlook of my ballot.
I expect a few titles to move to 2015, but I've tried to avoid that, leaving off questionable 2014 releases like Macbeth, Carol, Suffragette, The Water Diviner, Far from the Madding Crowd and Two Days, One Night. Have a look at my personal predictions below, with winner (*) guesses included.

I can't wait to see how many of these secure a nomination!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'll probably be more accurate with these predictions than with Oscar ones.
DeletePlenty of films to look forward to! Inherent Vice, Boyhood and Interstellar I'm especially excited for, because of the directors. Charlotte Gainsbourg did a great job in Nymphomaniac, maybe her best performance. I'm curious what Scarlett Johansson is like in Under the Skin.
ReplyDeleteI just watched Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 last weekend, and I can't wait to see the rest! Gainsbourg is terrific, as are Thurman and Skarsgard.
DeleteI almost predicted Scarlett Johansson as my winner, but I thought I'd mix it up, as I've not given Chastain a win .
