Off and Running

I've begun the task of updating my Oscar pages to represent the standing of the race now that the Toronto Film Festival gave us a clear idea how a lot of these big contenders measure up.

First up BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTOR which, after being wide open all year long, has quickly become crowded with contenders, including the first lock of the year in any acting category.

I will continue updating as I attend the New York Film Festival where I can offer first hand accounts of such 800 pound gorillas as Ang Lee's Life of Pi and Zemekis's Flight among others.
