Team RRR is destined for the ultimate in awards glory, according to a Hollywood producer's prediction. The film is competing for two Golden Globes (to be held this evening in Los Angeles, early tomorrow morning in India time) and if Jason Blum is right, RRR will also win the top prize at the Oscars. The CEO of Blumhouse Productions (makers of films like Get Out and Paranormal Activity) tweeted this big Oscar forecast on Sunday: "I'm going with RRR winning best pic. You heard it here first. Mark it down, please. If I'm right, I am awarding myself my own Oscar." In a follow-up tweet, Mr Blum clarified that he had no skin in the game. "It's RRR time. Don't miss it. And no I'm not involved in any way. Nor do I know anyone associated with the movie. Just see it," he wrote.
