Since
we're only 8 days away from the announcement of the Oscar nominations, and
since the previous pertinent posts were successful, I thought that we could let
the Dylan countdown rest for a couple of weeks and try to present all of the
Oscar eligible songs instead. Here we go!

Now, let's move on to the weekly statistics. This week,
after the
excitement of the past few weeks, things have settled down; this week's visits
are more or less the same as last week's. The death of Larry Steinbachek, the
keyboard player of Bronski Beat, brought a small increase in traffic for the Bronski
Beat entry, but it was in no way comparable to what happened with George
Michael, whose entry, by the way, has been the most visited by far for this
week too.
The big winner of the week were primarily the United States, and
secondarily Canada and Belgium. Cyprus, did rather well too.
The
full Top 10 is as follows:
1.
the United States
2.
Germany
3.
France
4.
Greece
5.
the United Kingdom
6.
Cyprus
7.
Italy
8.
the United Arab Emirates
9.
Canada
10.
Belgium
Here
are the other countries that graced us with their presence this week
(alphabetically): Andorra, Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Brazil,
Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Croatia, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Guadeloupe, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia,
Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Monaco, Morocco, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Reunion,
Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South
Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Trinidad
& Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela, Happy to have you all!
In
the all-time Top 10, everybody held on to their positions. Nobody seems to be
in danger of losing their place, for the moment. Still, Brazil needs to visit
more often in order to be safe: Top 10 veterans Cyprus and Canada are not far
behind. Here's the all-time Top 10:
1.
the United States = 47.8%
2.
Greece = 10.1%
3.
Germany = 8.3%
4.
France = 7.3%
5.
Russia = 5.7%
6.
the United Kingdom = 3.3%
7.
Italy = 1.18%
8.
the United Arab Emirates = 1.10%
9.
the Netherlands = 0.78%
10.
Brazil = 0.74%
That's all for today, folks. Till the next one!
Today's Oscar predictions concern the most important category; that of Best Picture. The number of possible nominees fluctuate from 5 to 10. In the last few years they are 8 or 9. We shall originally presume that there will be ten, even though there will probably be less. Here are the 10 most possible nominees: La La Land, Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Arrival, Lion, Hell or High Water, Hidden Figures, Hacksaw Ridge, Fences, and Loving. Other possible nominees: Nocturnal Animals, Deadpool, Jackie, The Jungle Book, and 20th Century Women.
