 Is there a chance the Coens will go to the stage 4 times?!
Well, they are nominated for Picture/Director/A. Screenplay/Editing which is the record together with Orson Welles for Citizen Kane.
Right now they seem pretty locked for Picture and Director and A. Screenplay is almost locked.
That leaves us with Editing. I know that Bourne won the Editors guild, but I'm not sure the Academy will repeat.They usually match very well, but for a movie that is not a BP nominee to win Best Editing is quite a rare thing (The Matrix and Black Hawk Down accomplished that I think, but usually that's an exception).
What do ya think?

I think that, when it comes down to it, voters will see that they are voting for the Coens everywhere, and as a result might leave them off the Editing ballot that they otherwise would've chosen them for. But who knows.

Is there a chance? You bet. I think there is seriously a chance that No Country pulls an 8/8 sweep.
But I don't think it will happen. I've got Bourne taking editing.

Yeah. there actually is a solid chance for No Country to sweep. the hardest categories would probably be Cinematography and the Sound nom.

I think they'll lose editing, but they certainly have an excellent shot at sweeping.

I think it's between Bourne and NCFOM in Editing and I'm counting on them to lose Cinematography. So the Coens have a shot at a sweep but not the film IMO.

Even if they do get the 4/4 thing, they won't go in the record books as being the first to do so for a single movie (even though they would be). Their editing statue will be engraved to Roderick Jaynes and that name will also go in the record books.

I don't think NCFOM is going to win BP. Not that anything is wrong with NCFOM, but Blood has the big scope and depth they like to go for. So I think Blood will take it and NCFOM will get directing as it's highest award. I know this is in contradiction of all indications so far, no need to point that out.

Well, if they do, they will tie Walt Disney's record for the most Oscars won in one night.

I know its a contradictionof sorts, but its very possible. Rules were meant to be broken. I dont think its a lock for anything actually. Even though I'd love to see it sweep.
