Well, here we are in November and the Oscar race is looking a lot more clear. Early front runners have faded and new contenders have emerged and even some of the new contenders have subsequently faded. The Oscar race is starting to look a lot more clear and it will look even clearer once December arrives and the critic groups start to chime in.
Here are my Oscar predictions for November!
