Given the history of NSFC's history, not that weird. They awarded Yi Yi in 2000 for best picture.

I still think 2046 is in contention for cinematography, and Ziyi should benefit from her supporting turn to help get a nom for Memoirs.

Hmmm, Phoenix is not even in the Top 3 for actors.

And I remember the times when many considered him an absolute frontrunner, heh.

Anyway, what's up with the Head-On love? That's insane.

Why is 2046 lower in the foreign film category, yet higher on the Best Pic one? :huh:

Cuz American movies, for the most part, sucked this year?

j/k I actually didn't like 2046 all that much, and think there were a handful of American ones (and international ones) that were much better than it.

Raffiki is saying the opposite

"If 2046 was strong enough to be Best Picture, why didn't it win their Foreign award"

um. isn't 2046 2nd (and only three votes behind 1st) in foreign, and 3rd in Best Pic? Or did I misunderstand the Q?

Yes..but how come Head-On is ahead of 2046 in Best Foreign, but apparently behind in Best Pic?

lol, of course.

hm. interesting.

unless there's some rules/release date thing (didnt 2046 hit filmfests in 2004...maybe it was only eligible for foreign film last year, but open for everything this year?)...

I dunno. weird though. Head-On is coming up quickly on the flix...wonder if its really that good...

Head-on was eliminated in one of the early voting rounds for Best Picture. When you have more choices, that could happen.

Details on how the voting process went: http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2006/01/national_societ.html. 57 memebers spent five and half hours? Gee, what a waste of time.
