Jeez, I forgot how awesome those wins were. Borat, Sheen (With Lopez as r/u!), random S. Actress win, Greengrass, LUBEZKI! :D

Also, whoever wins Director here is pretty much locked to get a nom with Oscar. They're 29/32 since with wins-to-noms, are on a 17 year streak now that includes 3 of the last 5 lone directors (Lynch, Almodovar and Greengrass).

I'll make predictions later.

The Coen Brothers will most likely win BD since they haven't been awarded in previous years plus this year's NBR loss.

I forgot Letters won here too last year. God, it really looked like another Evel Clint year in that first week, didn't it. Thank goodness a higher power stepped in.

I think either No Country or TWBB will win this. Whichever loses, will win NYFCC.

Mike, your post disappeared. :D

But my reply was that any genre film in the race, animated, documentary, fantasy, or musical can only be helped by a BP win from LAFCA or NYFCC.

A musical is automatically handicapped because no matter how good it may be, some people just don't dig musicals. So a BP win may help win some voters over.


Yeah, I deleted it because I checked up NYFCC and they don't exactly have the greatest history of matching Best Picture either, although they are the better one to win (more aligned with Oscar's taste).

Yeah, a win is a win, and always helps, you're right.

Peace,
Mike

Dude, those would fuckin' rock.


LAFCA is always good for random shit. Observe:

2006: Luminita Gheorghiu, The Death of Mr. (S. Actress)
2005: Vera Farmiga, Down to the Bone (Actress)
2003: Bill Nighy (S. Actor), American Splendor (Picture) The Triplets of Belleville (Animated Film)
2002: Edie Falco, Sunshine State (S. Actress)

Apparently that springs from a weird process involving a different critic kicking off the nomination process for every category, who almost always gets his way. It's not the fairest route, but it's sure to make things v. interesting.

Nope, tonight. Either by trickling-in announcements like BSFC right now, or press release/news story like last year. We'll see, I guess.

Yay! Go Amy Ryan!

She probably won't win the Oscar, but I'm pretty sure she'll get nominated at this point.

I'm closer to 100% sure she'll get nominated this year

Amy Ryan is starting out to be a real serious contender. Could very well spoil Blanchett's parade.
