Despite the frosty critical reception, I wasn’t prepared to write Les Mis off as a nominee and was reserving judgment about its winability until we see the Oscar noms tomorrow morning. If Hooper gets a director nomination AND the film gets an editing nomination then it’s got a real shot at an Oscar win. If it doesn’t, then and only then will I be prepared to stick a fork in it.
