We’re halfway through the year and that means one thing: People be making predictions for the ‘best of’ list for 2011. Though Oscar season isn’t for another couple months, we thought we’d get a headstart and show you the movies that will definitely be holding a lil golden guy come next spring. Now, that could mean Best Picture, but it could also mean Best Sound Mixing (go easy on the ice!). Trust us, you memorize this list and you’ll look more like Nostradamus rather than that old dude who predicted the end of the world in May. Check out the winners after the jump.

Among many of college’s time honored traditions, streaking through town amongst your fellow students and freaking out the locals is considered the ultimate rush and, most important of all, brings a smile to the faces of the Animal House pantheon of gods. Per usual, authority figures don’t share this same level of enthusiasm when it comes to our youthful antics and that’s why the president of Tufts University in Massachusetts, Lawrence Bacow, has put an official ban on the school’s annual Naked Quad Run, calling it a safety hazard! We at COED call bullsh*t and that’s why we’re stickin’ it to Bacow by presenting the best videos of streakers and naked runs that the internet has to offer! Ban this, Lawrence!

For those who watched the 83rd Annual Academy Awards Sunday night and were unimpressed, we’d like to take you back to the 61st and 62nd annual ceremonies thanks to the photography of Alan Light. Just about everybody enjoys taking a stroll down memory lane, and many times that jaunt can jog a fuzzy (and funny) sense of nostalgia. Back in ’89-’90, Natalie Portman was 7-8 years old, Kirk Douglas was 72-73 years old (I’ll let that sink in), Demi was still with Bruce, Tom Cruise wasn’t worshipping aliens, and River Phoenix was alive. The 61st edition was notable for not having a host while Rain Man swept most of the major categories. The 62nd ceremony saw Billy Crystal MC while Driving Miss Daisy picked up the most wins. Enjoy these rare red carpet and behind the scenes pics after the jump!

Eighty percent of the films in the top 50 highest grossing films of all-time were released after 2000, while no film prior to 1977 appears in the rankings because ticket-price inflation isn’t considered. To me, that’s not an accurate historical representation of which movies were most popular. So, after some digging, I found a chart based on data from boxofficemojo.com that ranks films using figures adjusted for ticket-price inflation, based on total box-office receipts. With Hollywood intent on the bottom line, it wouldn’t hurt major studios to consider remaking, modernizing, or “rebooting” these titles. Unless you’re a diehard film buff or are old enough to have actually seen these in the theater, chances are you’ve never heard of these cinematic sensations. See the list after the jump!

It’s usually no big surprise when movies get nominated for the Oscars, actors or actresses maybe, but films? Usually the big contenders are ones that are either critically acclaimed, released in the fall or released in very limited markets. But every now and then the Academy will throw a rather odd nomination into the mix just to shake things up. They usually don’t win, but it’s interesting that they recognize them. Here are a few movies that have found their way into the Oscar nominations that are considered either bad, campy, cult or just plain not Oscar material. See the full list after the jump!

Adrien Brody, 37, whose recent sci-fi film “Predators” will be released on DVD and Blu-ray this week, is not only a great actor, but he’s a solid dude. We’ve compiled a brief list outlining reasons why he rocks the Kasbah.

You may look at yourself from a picture that’s 10 years old and think to yourself, “Wow! I looked so different from then and now.” From the 1990s until 2010, some of the most famous people in the world look exactly the same. I guess we should have listened to our parents when they told us to eat our vegetables.

Hollywood likes its award shows the same way it likes its movies, done to death and starring washed up big name actors. Thus, this year’s Oscars will be just like every other year’s Oscars: hosted by Steve Martin and awarding essentially the same films as every other year. Here are eight things that will DEFINITELY happen during this year’… Click to read more

There are some rare occasions where the Academy Awards actually nominates and even awards something to an entertaining movie. Sadly, more often than not the movies that win for lack of a better word- suck. Lucky for us, many of the actresses that star in those movies were kind enough to go skimpy in those movies (or something else) almost making them worth wat… Click to read more

The competition is tough in the Best Actor category for the 81 Annual Academy Awards. So, incase we don’t get the opportunity to see Mickey Rouke take home his most deserved Oscar for his performance as Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, here is Rouke’s Best Male Lead acceptance speech from The Independent Spirit Awards. And just like The Ram, it’s AWESOME!

No surprises or big upsets at this year’s Academy Awards: No Country for Old Men rightfully swept the majority of the categories, including Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem) and Best Picture; Daniel Day Lewis got the Oscar for Best Actor and Juno won Best Original Screenplay.
If you were looking for upsets, you were looking in the wrong place.
