Feeling good so far with my predictions. U93 is knocked out unfortunately, but it's a small price to pay for the shutout of Dreamgirls in important categories

Best Foreign film:
Apocalypto
Letters from Iwo Jima
Lives of others
Pan's Labyrinth
Volver

Looks to me like Scorcese is destined to win the Globe for Best Director, with no competition from Condon (not even nominated) and Eastwood being shot in the foot with 2 nominations (split votes).

Peace,
Mike.

Beyonce Knowles nominated in any acting award is pretty sickening, it's almost as she got in by default with how awfully weak that category is.

Just to think that Bobby is still in the race somehow...

Does 2 noms mean DiCaprio doesn't have a chance to win? Ditto for Eastwood.

much better updates than our own. you all should be ashamed

double post

This KJ thread is acting all fucked up, overload.

Streep is a lock to win.

Thats easily the best list yet.

And everyone was telling me that Babel is definitely out. Ha. I'm glad I kept it in my 5th Best Picture nominee slot for the Oscars.

Peace,
Mike.

Told you so.


We have our 5th nominee, ladies and gentleman.


So, this is the most predictable BP race in years, or so it seems:


Babel
Dreamgirls
Letters fro Iwo Jima
The Departed
The Queen

When I clicked submit to post my above nomination list, the last post in this thread was on page 5. It took about 4 minutes to submit.

Affleck got a nom for Best Supporting. That's pretty rad.

Emily Blunt!!! OMG!


No Ryan Gosling though...

Best Screenplay
“Babel”
“Little Children”
“Notes on a Scandal”
“The Departed”
“The Queen”

Departed received two Supporting Actor nominations which would seem to mean that they both have less of a chance to win although Nicholson definitely has the edge.

Monster House, Cars and Happy Feet for best animated feature. Over the moon that Monster House got in.

Slightly less over the moon that Children Of Men hasn't managed a single nomination. It honestly baffles the fuck out of me.

Why are you worried? Hopefully, the two Eastwood noms cancel each other out. Plus, the Academy Awards are really what matters and they seem less likely to give Eastwood two noms.

Ditto. It doesn't make sense to me that it has gotten literally nothing in anything important. Hopefully the Guilds and Oscars will fix that (and at least reward the films technical achievements). I have faith that the Guilds will do that for us.

Peace,
Mike.
