Oscar Nominees: Best Original Score

My predictions: 3/5, picking “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” over “The Adventures of Tintin” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”
My ballot: Come back next week!
The nominees: The Adventures of Tintin, The Artist, Hugo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, War Horse

I’m sad that “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” isn’t here, despite its other mentions, and glad that “The Adventures of Tintin” got recognized for something with its shocking animation snub. “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” is a fun choice, as is “Hugo.” This category, of course, will likely go to the most deserving of the nominees…

My current bet to win: “The Artist”
