Surprised they were able to get Helen Mirren and Judi Dench together on the same cover.

I have the exact same predictions for Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Sup. Actress and 4/5 with screenplays and Sup. Actor... lol

Are they trying to scare away customers with that photo cover?

It made me extend my ban on all things Entertainment Weekly. Too bad for them, the ban was about to be lifted. But they're back "on notice".

Judi Dench looks posessed on that cover.

I think I might very well start crying if I ever see that cover in person. It's that scary.

Those are probably the nominees. EW has an amazing track record (last year may have been there most missed... not sure).

The only thing I can think of is that Brad Pitt may still sneak into the Supp. Actor race. I mean, 2 unkown actresses from Babel and zilch for the name that carries the film? That's gotta hurt. No worries. He'll pick up a Best Picture Oscar

And also... maybe Eastwood will be completely shut out this year. It happened at the guilds. It could very well happen at the Oscars. LMS has definitely shown more strength than I ever imagined. What are the Academy rules on dual directors?

You're kidding right? Helen Mirren is one of the sexiest women on the planet no matter how old she is. Streep's not half bad either. And Dench? Well, I'm sure she's really nice!

They're probably off in the Directors category

Condon for best director? God I hope not.
