Every year, the Oscar nominations seem all sewn up. There are so many predictors – winners of critics’ awards, Golden Globe nominees and winners, BAFTA nominees and the SAG nominees.

Okay, one delay. I should note that I hate being right. I hate getting predictio...

Actress Keisha Castle-Hughes nearly turned her back on the film industry following her 2004 Oscar nomination for Whale Rider, because she was horrified by the media "circus" that she was suddenly engulfed in.
