Best Picture, Director, Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Score, Sound, Art Direction, Costumes, Makeup. That's 11.

Supporting Actor is looking like a longshot, but I hear it's deserving, and there's usually a surprise nominee in the Actor categories every year.

yeah, it really could sweep up all the tech categories as far as a nomination go. Outside Sound I guess, all of the technicalities for this movie are perfect and even add to the feel of the film.



i think it should manage ten nominations. if it goes one or two past that, all the better. And I REALLY hope Dano gets in...he's not as good as DDL, but he more than holds his own in scenes featuring the two of them. Not to mention, he's a very young guy, and it's a lot harder to come across as convincing at a young age [just like there's no such thing as a bad performance by a very old actor since there's so little that is expected of them]

I see 6-7 noms for There Will Be Blood, but I hope the 10+ noms prediction comes true, of course.

Atonement won't win anything. At all.

*ducks*

Maybe, it's a lock for at least one in Picture/Director, Actor (that's two), Cinematography (three), Score (four), probably for Screenplay (five).

At the beginning of the season and after watching NCFOM, i was 100% nothing was going to stop it from winning Best Picture. Now i have a sneaky feeling that TWBB is gaining a bunch of momentum and could sneak up for the win. While i am sure it will not get as much praise as NCFOM, i don't think that really matters any more after the Crash win. Still NCFOM is loved across the board and has more of an all star cast to give it the "more obvious" best picture choice.
I guess my biggest problem is that i think NCFOM is the most overrated film to come out in a long time. Hopefully when i see TWBB, all of my mental quarrels will be put aside.
