Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? I see two acting nominations for The Social Network--Garfield or Timberlake for Supporting Actor, as well as, of course, Eisenberg for Best Actor. Your choices for The King's Speech seem sound--maybe not Score, though. Inception, agreed If True Grit is up for Picture/Director/Screenplay/Editing, I'm sure it will receive more than one acting nomination. Damon? The girl? I find 127 Hours very hard to consider without having seen it.  If it's more of a visceral/visual experience, might it miss Screenplay? A.R. Rahman's score could be nominated. Could Toy Story 3's score be disqualified? Doesn't it recycle a few themes? _________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6. Good Time - 7. The Beguiled - 8. The Florida Project - 9. Logan and 10. Molly's Game

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? I dunno about two acting noms for The Social Network. It really reminds me of The Departed which everyone thought would also get multiple acting noms...yet it didn't.
You might be right about TS3s score...I just assumed since almost all Pixar flicks got Score noms...

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? I don't know how much TS3 recycled music from previous music, but for a sequel it's not unusual to recycle and still get a nom - Harry Potter uses the same theme throughout and that didn't stop Azkaban from getting nominated after Philosopher's Stone got a nom.

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? Considering the initial enthusiasm I don't see how TSN won't be able to at least match THL's 9 noms.

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? Enthusiasm one way or another...it doesn't mean that much for a number of noms. It doesn't seem to be a tech heavy film. To get nine noms it needs a nom for Score (likely to be disqualified), two acting noms, a Cinemagraphy nom and at least one Sound nom. And I have a hard time seeing all of those happening.

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? A cinematography nod is a strong possibility for The Social Network, IMO.

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? Also The King's Speech should have a good shot at Art Direction, being a British period piece. Inception could get Art Direction too, considering The Dark Knight got one.

Oscars are no strangers to being easy when it comes to giving some movies extra nods that they probably don't deserve. Hence the The Hurt Locker comparison.

Re: So how many nominations will the biggies get this year? The Social Network better get Sound and Cinematography noms. The movie is gorgeously made.

You might be right about TS3s score...I just assumed since almost all Pixar flicks got Score noms... I would be very surprised if neither Garfield nor Timberlake were nominated. In fact I would predict that both are nominated before saying neither will be. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself. Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.
