Why They Will Win | 1 | Quirky indies have great form in this category – Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Eternal Sunshine. | | 2 | The general consensus was that this was Anderson’s best in a while, combining his trademark oddity with some real heft and heart, and it’s done well elsewhere, notably winning the AFI award. | | 3 | Half the Academy’s voters were actually in the film, so that might help. | Why They Won't Win | 1 | The traditional Oscar predictors have largely overlooked the film, and it hasn’t won at any of them. | | 2 | It’s not nominated for anything else, and in particular not Best Picture. It has, in fact, been largely ignored in awards season generally. | | 3 | When’s the last time a film full of Boy Scouts won Best Original Screenplay? |
