Zombie Room’s Oscar Predictions 2010

Zombieie_Rooms_Oscar_Predictions

The year 2009 is almost over and you all know what that means. It’s almost time for the Oscars. And since I like to pretend I know a thing or two about movies and especially about the Oscars, I decided to list my own predictions of the Oscar nominees this year. Keep in mind that this list is not a list of my favorite films of the year, but a combination of how I think the Academy’s mind works combined with the nominees of the Golden Globe Awards, Critics Awards Grid, Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit Awards and Critics Choice Awards.

The Oscars will again take place at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood March 7, 2010, with nominations announced on February 2. Then we will see if I got my predictions right. But until then, here’s Zombie Room’s Oscar predictions. Enjoy!

  13. Thanks for your publication. One other thing is that individual states in the United states of america have their unique laws in which affect house owners, which makes it quite hard for the our lawmakers to come up with a fresh set of recommendations concerning foreclosures on people. The problem is that each state provides own laws which may work in a damaging manner in terms of foreclosure guidelines.
