I can't imagine a scenario where Munich misses out on a BFCA nom. They love him.

You know...since 1997 in all years, but three all five Best Picture Academy Awards nominees were among the ten nominees at BFCA, so if a movie misses out here....not good.

The only ones that managed a Best Pucture nom without being in BFCA's Top 10 are Secrets and Lies, Chocolat (which no one expected to be a nom anyway) and Gosford Park.

So, who wants to predict their Ten Best Picture nominees?

I'd say:

Cinderella Man
Crash
Good Night, and Good Luck
Walk the Line
Match Point
Munich
King Kong
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
The New World

the BFCAs are the best indicator for Oscars I think

hmm - my predictions

King Kong
Match Point
Munich
Walk the Line
Capote
Brokeback Mountain
Good Night, and Good Luck
Cinderella Man
The New World
History of Violence

Are those your predictions or the actual nominees?

Predictions, I'd say.

my predictions

Mine:

- A History of Violence
- Brokeback Mountain
- Capote
- Cinderella Man
- Crash
- Good Night and Good Luck
- King Kong
- Match Point
- Munich
- Walk the Line

alternatives: Pride and Prejudice, The New World, The Constant Gardener, The Squid and the Whale.

I don't think they're Malick fans... (The Think Red Line scored an 80 with them - it still got nominated though...)

from Oscarwatch

Hang on, guys, I have word is coming in a mere moment - they are debating one top category.

Ok, I looked > it's Broadcast!!!

was thinking first what it could be > wondering if it was British or Boston, etc.

as no one is saying P&P, I think it will be in there.

pretty sure by now, everyone knows what the BFCA is.

ok, everyone but me or I forgot from last year, anyway, no big deal as you can learn something everyday.

From Oscarwatch

BFCA expects to send out a press release @ 9:30-10:00 a.m. PST

how could you make such a statement? Is it possible that they could omit the movie on the fact that few have screened it or maybe, just possibly they did screen it and it's not good?

The line between fact and opinion has seriously been blurred in these awards threads

No news?

No news?

Should be any minute.

it's not ten am pst
