Last month, we brought you our Golden Globes critics' picks, in which NEWSWEEK's television
and cinema gurus squared off to see who could correctly predict the most wins
(Ramin Setoodeh and Joshua Alston took the honors on the film and TV fronts,
respectively). Now, we've got a rematch of Setoodeh and his vanquished rival
Devin Gordon--and there ain't much daylight between 'em. That goes with the
times, though; very few of the awards pundits are predicting major
surprises. Even this Envelope post, which loosely toys with some upset
theories, calls the Best Picture race "all sewn up." For the sake of our
attention spans on Sunday night, let's hope for at least one unscripted moment.
Meanwhile, if you want a hard-numbers take on how the evening might unfold,
check out our piece on how to statistically game your Oscar pool.
