OSCAR WATCH: The Globe Effect (December 29, 2009)

Even though we swore we’d keep the conversation short, there’s simply too much to talk about with this year’s Oscar race. Check out our latest video segment with …And The Winner Is editor Scott Feinberg, as he breaks down:

• The ascent of “Avatar” in the hunt for Best Picture
• The decline of “Nine,” as critics eviscerate the Rob Marshall musical
• One director’s strong reaction to the Michael Jackson documentary “This Is It”
• The increasing prominence of the Golden Globes
