Can anyone recommend a good resource for a list of Best Picture contenders?
My wife and I try to see all the Best Picture nominees each year. In order to avoid spending all our February free time at the movies, it helps to see several "likely nominees" ahead of the official nomination announcement in late January.
In the past, I have found the
Nominoptions section of Hollywood Stock Exchange to be pretty reliable for predicting nominations, but this isn't running yet. My secondary source in past years has been Indiewire, but
they currently list 10 movies as "Frontrunners". That is a bit too wide of a net.
What I would really like to know is which 2-3 films have the best chance of being nominated for Best Picture.
Maybe Joe Lundardi can provide his list of the Best Picture "locks".
