The 2010 Oscar campaigns are officially underway. The Academy mailed out the 2010 ballots earlier this week, which are due back from voters by January 14th. That leaves a 3 week period of subtle campaigning by the studios, including mailing out copies to the films to voters.
Once the nominations are announced, a second, less subtle round of studio marketing begins to push a nominated film to Oscar winner status. So which films are currently the favorites to get nominated in the major categoriesÉ Dave Karber of EW.com provides a weekly, updated list of the movies and actors that he expects to be nominated, and eventually win the Academy Awards.
According to Karger, The King`s Speech, The Social Network, The Fighter, Inception nd Toy Story 3 remain the Best Picture favorites. His list of most likely actor nominees includes Colin Firth, James Franco, Jamie Eisenberg, Natalie Portman, Jeff Bridges, Annette Bening, Christian Bale and Nicole Kidman.
