I was going to write a predictions blog for the movie, but I've read the book. It seems so far like they're sticking pretty close, so we pretty much know exactly what will happen already.
I will say - I think there is a lot of Oscar potential involved - so here are my Oscar predictions:
- Best Actor: With so many different, and diverse roles to showcase his range in Cloud' - Hanks has yet another shot at best actor.
- Best Actress: Halle Berry might have a slim shot at this, but I'm sticking with "slim" until I see the film for myself...
- Best Costume Design: This might be a no-brainer with the wide range of timeframes this story spans.
- Best Makeup: Here again, with so much to work with, the makeup crew will either be overwhelmed, or brilliant. I'm leaning toward brilliant.
