December Best Picture Contenders

With very limited reviews this month, it seems as if it may be a mystery as to what baits will make the Best Picture lineup...

"Locks" (if we can say that)
  • The Mystic- Arguably, it's the baitest of the month, and the synopsis is remarkable. However, it may split votes with Family Soupe. But, I'm betting BOTH will make the BP linuep.
  • Family Soupe- Representing the comedy will be Family Soupe. Not doubt in my mind. The dynamic duo struck gold this month, and there will be even more gold going their way at the awards ceremony.
  • Wonsaponatime- D.W. recreated the life of a brilliant man in a classy way. Expect this to be the nomination leader and probably the BP winner as well.

Possibilities

  • A Tale of the Night- The chat is talking about the original musical a lot. The buzz is growing, but it may be lost in the shuffle.
  • Pursuits- Family Soupe is the only thing standing in the offbeat comedies way. However, don't leave out the possibility of two comedies.
  • A Life Before- Ryne had a huge comeback with this bait. Voters are splitting a bit more on this one, but in a not so strong month, it could make the cut.

More predictions to come soon!
