Stagione all'insegna del passato, premiazione che non è da meno. Vincono divi attempati e signori del muto in bianco e nero. Non affascina e non brilla per alcuna particolarità, questa 84esima edizione degli Academy Awards che si è tenuta poco più di 24ore fa all'Hollywood & Highland Center Theatre di Los Angeles.
Poche previsioni sfumate e, troppe azzeccate. Io non sono un indovino, eppure un buonissimo numero di vincitori l'ho centrato. Un caso? Ma andiamo a vedere nel dettaglio... (Per il commento sulla cerimonia in sé rimando qui: "Oscar 2012: something went wrong")
Per accorciare la lista lascerò solamente i nomi di chi avevo votato e l'effettivo vincitore. Come sempre il meccanismo è il seguente: chi secondo me vincerà (*) e chi vorrei veder trionfare (§). Il punteggio si calcola allo stesso modo:
* = 1 punto;
§ = 1/2 punto;
*§ = 1 punto.

Infine il risultato delle previsioni mie e della fidata Livia (considerando che lei non ha votato per le sezioni 'documentary' e 'short' che, tra l'altro, io ho sbagliato in toto)!
R: 13,5
L: 13,5
Meglio della parità non poteva esserci alcun risultato!

Bengi
Non male 13,5!
RispondiEliminaBravi noi, o forse dovremmo dire: academy prevedibile...
secondo me sì, più facile che sia l'academy ad aver perso il suo smalto...
