July Oscar Watch: Best Picture



1. The Violinist- I stand by what I have said, and I think that this will be the winner of the month. A lot of BOTM voters give it solid reviews and it's closest rival doesn't have the love of some BOTM voters. Expect this to be the winner of the month..

2. Tuskegee- Bryce is probably the most overdue author on the site, and voters may want to reward one of his most succesful baits ever. Although, some voters found it overrated and didn't put it in their top 5. With hardly any buzz for the bait itself, it may be a bit forgotten, and not win the month.

3. After the Fall- The most highly acclaimed team bait since The Bluest Eye is sure to break into the Top 5, and have one of the higher nomination tallies as well. Don't expect it to take BOTM, but it's a solid candidate if the nominations aren't what predicted.

4. The Monster of Florence- With solid BOTM winner support, this bait could easily garner Michael's 2nd career BP nomination. However, with so many baits fighting for spots this month, it could easily be left out in the cold.

5. In the Land of Eden- One of the baitier baits of the month is likely to get a spot, but in recent discussions with BOTM authors, they seem to have forgotten about it. Can it withstand a wild and crazy month?

Still in the Running:

6. Neighbors- A solid bait could easily sneak in the Top 5, and if so, expect it to have a huge nomination tally as well.

7. Sacred- Much like In the Land of Eden, voters have sort of forgotten about the highly praised bait, however if the nominations are as up in the air as some authors believe them to be, this could easily sneak in.
