Oscar Nominees: Best Art Direction

My predictions: 4/5, picking “Black Swan” over HP7
My ballot: Come back next week!
The nominees: Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Inception, The King’s Speech, True Grit

So this is where HP7 pops up, in addition to its Best Visual Effects mention, of course. It boots my #1 sure thing “Black Swan,” a snub I’m hardly mourning given my lack of affinity for that film. That said, this bunch includes some good-looking films. I’m pleased with it, and I can only hope that the film that deserves to win actually will…

My current bet to win: “Inception”
