After a rundown of what’s slated for all the major film festivals this year and a discussion of their role in the Oscar race, we speculate about nominations in 8 categories: animated feature, international feature, documentary feature, original score, original song, production design, makeup and hairstyling, and visual effects. We also get a little help from Greg Greg , who breaks some bad news.
Stay tuned for Part Two, in which we discuss the rest of the categories, including all the acting categories and Best Picture!
