Studios turning up the hype for 2009 Oscar race
February 28th, 2008 by Dave Hanson
There are 362 days until the next Academy Awards, but studios and producers are already looking ahead to next January’s nominations. “So far, ‘Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins’ is one of the funniest and most moving films of the year,” said a Hollywood insider. “Producers are getting behind it, hoping that nothing else better comes out.” The insider added that “Witless Protection” is the sentimental favorite for best achievement in sound design, and “The Hottie and the Nottie” is a grassroots frontrunner in makeup for costume design because Paris Hilton had so many cute outfits. Paul Dabaragabetaragererian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers, also asserted that “Jumper”’s #1 finish two weekends ago put it in the running for several awards.
