2015 Oscars: Gold Rush Gang October Predictions – Turning Theory Into Reality

Published by

Michael Keaton keeps his #1 ranking here but Benedict Cumberbatch is making his move, jockeying up 9 points to land at #2 and doing a virtual flip-flop with Steve Carell, who tumbles nine for 3rd place. Eddie Redmayne builds on the strength of his film’s reception and breaks into the top 5 at #5.

What would Oscar predicting be without a crazy race in Best Actress? Julianne Moore in Still Alice makes the biggest jump of any person or film on the charts to go from a single point charted last month (from Kenneth) to the #1 slot. After a nail-biting week after its Toronto debut, Sony Pictures Classics picked up the film and the Best Actress race turned on its head. The lockstep twosome of Reese and Rosamund shattered and Moore is now the major frontrunner in the category. Witherspoon, Pike, Adams and Streep all took some pretty big hits with the entrance of Moore in the race and Felicity Jones enters the top five with an 11-point volley as a part of the Theory train. The Streep drop though is largely due to the news that she might be going Supporting for Into the Woods but we don’t have official word yet.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
