The Buzzzzzz Meter: Early June

Well stealing from my own podcast I decided I would once again crank up the old buzz meter and I'll be doing it by myself until Zgamer and I figure out how to get him as an assitant writer on the site. So with out further ado lets crank it up...

(Noises occur)

Ok well coming in with the number 5 amount of buzz is...

The Last Page

It's been called a Close vehicle by most, but this thriller could easily creep in to the Best Picture category by the end of this so called "weak month". If it scores key nominations at the Globes and the SAGs, you better believe this could easily become a Best Picture contender.

Up next at the number 4 spot is...

Oil

Many of the former winners of the contest are behind the bait and it scored 5 nominations at the festival, but didn't take home any trophies. It opened to mostly postive reviews, but not quite raves. Wait for the Globes to see if the buzz will continue.

At the 3rd spot is...

Glitz

By far the most polarizing bait of the month. Either you loved it, or you hated it, I LOVED this bait and I can see it scoring a Best Picture nomination. However, it could easily fall into the category of "Not sure it was a comedy" and not be represented at the Globes. If it is and it wins then expect it to sneak into the Best Picture category.

Coming in at a number 2 tie is...

The End of the Alphabet and Gray Daze

The End of the Alphabet- Many of the former winners have showered this bait with praise and it could easily grab a Best Picture nomination. If it is poorly represented by the Globes expect it to be lost in the shuffle and come in a number 6 or 7.

Gray Daze- Like Glitz it is pretty polarizing. Still, it won the festival which helped Rivalry at 6 PM gain glory. Josh is running a strong campaign, but wait until the Globes and the SAGs to see if it has staying power.

Grabbing the most so far is...

Lucky Clover

Has the most former winner supporters and it is a solid bait from Sergio. Although I am not a big fan of the bait, I still think it has the best chances at this point at winning Best Picture. I still think it may get lost in the shuffle and not get a Picture nomination at the Globes, but if it does be assured it will get a Best Picture nomination.
