What is "The CampChuck Reviewer"? It is a 33 year old tradition of Oscar-tuned newsletters plus special travel editions by Charles N. Jaffee.

What is "Startlets"? This is a too long, nearly done book that I'll get around to publishing sometime.

Predictions coming Feb. 20

Til then, these pages are from last year's Oscars

Underlined nominees in the list to the left, were declared  Feb. 20. They equal CampChuck predictions. (Only Best Picture was incorrectly predicted. "The King's Speech" won, not "The Social Network.") See links to prediction and other pieces below.

Only The King’s Speech has the buzz (and advantageous British aura) to pinch top gold away from The Social Network, though this Facebook film may be the best film of the decade. I predict a split: Social Network wins Best Picture; Hooper peels Best Director from Fincher. Firth’s excellence locks-in Oscar, since his acting in A Single Man should have won last year. Portman wins for a performance that exudes “most courageous.”  Leo and Bale slap voters up side the head in such a way that Supporting Actress & Actor go to these two fighters.

This special retrospective edition will not include analysis of the movies, directors, actors and actresses, or supporting actors and actresses vying for Oscars this year. Yes, CampChuck predictions are noted to the left and summarized above, but this 32nd annual edition is essentially a catalog of decades of letters to the editor.  Read More ....
