Nominees for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards and this year is full of, well, pretty much the same people that are nominated every year.  Yes, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 are both up for multiple awards with Breaking Dawn snagging two nominations and the final Harry Potter film managing six.  In an effort to be more mainstream, the annual awards show is changing things up a bit and having several of the awards being voted on by a panel of industry experts rather than the general public.  Perhaps one of the reason Breaking Dawn only managed to get nominations for Movie of the Year and Best Kiss.  It doesn’t …

Yesterday we gave you our predictions on the movies we thought will get nominated for Best Picture and Best Animated Feature and today we’re focusing our attention on the coveted acting categories. First up, we’re breaking down which actresses from the throng of 2011 movies we think will have their name called come January 24th. We think Glenn Close for her role as a woman disguised as a man in Albert Nobbs, Meryl Streep as controversial UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn, Tilda Swinton in We Need To Talk About Kevin and Viola Davis in The Help are the most likely to get nominated.  This was a …

With the last of the Oscar contenders hitting the big screen over the holiday weekend, we thought we would break down our predictions for the 2012 Academy Awards.  Today, we’re focusing on two of the most important categories of them all – Best Picture and Best Animated Feature.

For Best Picture, we’re thinking The Artist will be making this year’s list.  The silent film is making a lot of noise in Hollywood and if it actually won the award, it would be the first time a silent film took home Best Picture since the first Academy Awards in which Wings took home the golden statue back in 1928.  The other spots will most likely go to The Descendants, the story of …
