Oscar Predictions Blogger Diagnosed With Ludicrousness

Dunno about you, but the day we put out asinine predictions like this (and we’re not even “Oscar bloggers,” obviously) we’re getting completely out of the game. Obviously senility has set in here. Shouldn’t he have to turn in his writing credentials for good?

Jeff Wells points out this:

I also shook my head when O’Neil posted a forecast by World Entertainment News Network’s Kevin Lewin about Guy Ritchie‘s Sherlock Holmes looking like a Best Picture nominee.

Patrick Goldstein echoed my own dismay when he criticized Envelope/Gold Derby columnist Tom O’Neil on 11.2 for posting an anonymous Oscar voter’s opinion that This Is It, the Michael Jackson documentary, will grab an Oscar Best Picture nomination.

RIP, Tom O’Neil, though it is nice to officially take him off the list of people you barely took seriously in the first place.
