Best PICTURE Posted on 04:47 PM

Current predictions for best picture nominations:

• The Aviator (Miramax)
• Sideways (Fox Searchlight)
• Million Dollar Baby (Warner Bros)
• Ray (Universal)
• Finding Neverland (Miramax)

This was indeed the most predictable race, with no surprise whatsoever. The Aviator, recent winner of the PGA is also the most nominated movie with 11 nods.

The Best Picture race is apparently the most boring race, but don't let the appearances fool you. Ray and even Finding Neverland are not guaranteed noms. Finding Neverland runs the risk of being the second Miramax movie, but it will probably overcome that on the Johnny Depp/Chocolat factor. Ray is a great movie but it might lose out the BP nomination to any of Kinsey, Closer, Hotel Rwanda or even Eternal Sunshine.... I will stick with the "boring" 5 though.
