Emerging from screening a certain movie which shall remain nameless, way back before end-of-year lists made the rounds and the Ocsar nominations were announced, I made\u00a0an instantaneous prediction about\u00a0that particular film’s\u00a0Academy Awards chances on February 24th, and I put it\u00a0in writing.<\/p>\n

(No, I’m not talking about my prediction about Daniel Day-Lewis winning for Lincoln<\/em><\/a>. That<\/em> prediction I made out loud and often\u00a0as soon as I read he had been cast in the film. Just as many others did.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, there was much skepticism in the air from my inner circle concerning my\u00a0soothsaying\u00a0for this particular movie…but numerous well-regarded, pre-Oscar signs later, it seems I may indeed be about to be proven correct. You’ll notice I’m keeping that prediction close to the vest here (naturally, so as not to avoid embarrassment on that tiny, tiny, now-miniscule chance I’m wrong)–but we’re giving Movie Irv no such shelter! Here he is to make his final prognostications:<\/p>\n
