Your comment that most resonates about this whole funny game that is the Oscar race, is that perception is often reality - people get themselves in all sorts of knots bemoaning who is most deserving, but as the season rolls along, the picture gets clearer, as each award show unfolds and the sense of where the pulse actually is, has often very little to do with the supposed 'best'. Sandra Bullock's win is such an example, and to some extent Jeff Bridges, where an actor gives a good but not great performance, but is either due, or the sentiment is with them. So too with The King's Speech and Tom Hooper. There still seems to be a swell around the Help and The Artist - not sure about Lead Actor and Actress - is Clooney the only sure thing? Meryl -v- Viola is shaping up as a fascinating one. My sense is this year will be a sentimental one - Plummer, Streep, Woody, Scorsese. But is it only the mid point.  I will follow your analysys most vigilantly. Cheeers!! Hi Scott – love your treatment of the race this year – most illuminating.
