The Artist Leads the Pack

For the past two years, all four acting winners at the Critics Choice Awards have gone on to win Oscars.  Does that mean the streak will continue?  It seems like the unpredictable awards season just got a little more predictable.  Maybe the Golden Globes will shake things up on Sunday.  I'm pretty sure that Plummer and Spencer are locks.  Davis is looking good too.  Is it wrong that I want Brad Pitt to win over George Clooney?
