Last year, we basicly knew who was going to win, but this year it's up in the air. Actually, come to think of it, we knew almost all the wins last year, while quite a few are open still this year. Actress, Supporting Actor and Actress, some techs as well as maybe Picture. I still think The Aviator will get it, but stranger things have happened.

Also, there seems to be about 3-4 loocks in each category now, so there's not much debate over an entire category. That said, I'll go with Best Actress, just cuz personally I have alot at stake in that category with Uma and Delpy being my favorites of the year and one of them actually having a chance. The Best Actor nod race may actually be more interesting, but you know who the winner is, so it kinda doesn't matter, plus I don't have much invested in alot of the contenders in that category. And also Best Adapted Screenplay (rooting for Sunset) _________________ Top Movies of 2009 1. Hurt Locker / 2. (500) Days of Summer / 3. Sunshine Cleaning / 4. Up / 5.

(except last year, in which I invested heavily into Supporting Actor....that was an insanely awesome race last year). This year (and most other years) I seem contented in tracking some of the other awards....notably Screenplay (both), Score, VFX, Sound, Sound Editing, Film Editing, and Cinematogrophy. I don't nearly follow any of them to the extent of some people on these boards, who even treat them as secondary to the main races (which they are). I'm juts saying the my level of devotion isn't all that high. _________________

Acting categories are always fun, too. Especially the supporting ones, where little surprises are thrown in every year. Screenplay has been especially interesting over the past couple years, though. It's almost become the "yeah, we know these films are good and should probably be rewarded more, but this'll do" category.

Before Sunset's nomination or failure to garner a nod in either of those will make it or break it for me. Also rooting for Uma in Best Actress. I could care less about any of the other nominations. And after I get over their exclusion (give me about 2-3 weeks time) then I'll get into the predicting the winners mode and tell you which categories mean the most to me or are the most interesting. _________________ Top Movies of 2009 1.

Only other movie with a score as good was The Passion, and the Hollywood politics may stop voters from voting for it (although that didn't stop them from nominating it). I haven't seen Lemony Snicket, though, and have only heard about a quarter of the score. _________________
