This is insanely old news, but thought I should post this. I had some predictions posted on my Facebook, which you could see
here. Anyways, out of my predictions, I missed one, thinking that Golden Globes would reward Brangelina one way or another, and giving it to

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
She won so recently, and there's Oprah to reward too. Then again, this is a very meaty part that many people think is actually a leading role, so... I won't be surprised if something happens.
Foxcatcher matches the perfect Oscar meld for me: A film with a lot less pre-release buzz, surging into play by a director that has yet to win, but is pretty well-regarded. Yeah, that sounds like Foxcatcher. This is a real outside shot, but if Sony Pictures Classics plays their cards right, they might get something big with Foxcatcher, and drag Vanessa Redgrave along with them.
