And will they win the Academy Award?

As of this writing, Blanchett is in the lead with odds of 71/20 based on the combined predictions of over 1,000 Gold Derby users. It’s backed by four out of six expert journalists who have responded to their predictions so far, five out of eight editors who cover awards all year round for Gold Derby, 15 of our top 24 users who got the highest scores higher by predicting last year’s critics’ pick. winners and 15 of the Top 24 All-Stars who had the highest scores when you combine the prediction results from the past two years.

Maybe we’re underestimating one of them, or is it really a two-way street?
