We're just 2 days away from closing Oscar season by opening the envelopes.
Today I take a look at the Sound races: Mixing and Editing and Visual Effects.
Our panel of Oscar experts includes the published predictions of the following:
Sasha Stone/Awards Daily
Scott Feinberg/The Feinberg Forecast-The Hollywood Reporter
Kristopher Tapley/InContention-HitFix
Anne Thompson/Thompson on Hollywood-IndieWire
Peter Knegt/IndieWire
Brad Brevet/Rope of Silicon
Clayton Davis/Awards Circuit
Alex Carlson/Film Misery
Telluride #39 films in Bold
+SOUND MIXING
1) Les Miserables (2)
2) Skyfall (1)
3) Life of Pi (3)
4) Argo (5)
5) Lincoln (4)
Comment: "Les Mis" overtakes "Skyfall" for the favorite's spot and it's lead is substantial.
+SOUND EDITING
1) Life of Pi (1)
2) Skyfall (2)
3) Argo (4)
4) Zero Dark Thirty (3)
5) Django Unchained (5)
Comment: This category is too close to call but almost certainly down to the top two films. The strength of the "Argo" wave is even felt here in both sound categories as it moved up a spot in both Sound Mixing and Editing.
+VISUAL EFFECTS
1) Life of Pi (1)
2) The Hobbit (2)
3) The Avengers (3)
4) Prometheus (4)
5) Snow White and the Huntsman (5)
Comment: No changes here and "Pi's" lead is strong.
Tomorrow I'll take a look at the Short Subject categories where I have more data than last time and some changes have occurred.
