This year’s Grammy awards ceremony will begin in about one hour, but we already have all the results we need for Oscar forecasting and they don’t mean anything.

The Inbox (Feb. 2-8, 2013)
Every week, I get several press releases, screening invitations and other notifications from a handful of studio contacts.

Precursor: 26th USC Scripter Awards (2012)
This is a rather surprising result. I had expected the award to go to the more writerly Tony Kushner and Doris Kearns Goodwin. This really does mean the film has a lot of broad support in many circles. Certainly, this is no guarantee of an Oscar, but it does indicate support for the film’s adaptation.…
