Best Director - Paul Greengrass nominated for United 93 - He won't win, no way but good on him, terrific film, great visual style and the tone is like nothing I have ever seen. Straight fight between Scorsese and Eastwood, Scorsese will get it.
Best Picture - Little Miss Sunshine and The Departed are the only 2 I have seen. Both great, Little Miss Sunshine, no fucking way. The Departed? Bit of a genre flick but you never know. I'm thinking Babel, seeing it in the wekk but the "important film" feeling puts me off. No Dreamgirls. So it could be a "serious" Oscars then?
Best Actress - Devil Wears Prada? That film gets an Oscar nomination? Dear me! Helen Mirren all the way.
Best Actor - Forrest Whittaker all the way. Doubt anyone comes close. Heard Ryan Gosling was really good in Half Nelson. It still ain't out here though so I don't know. Peter O'Toole! Saw him on The Daily Show last week, fucking legend but not a chance. Leo? Very interested in this film now... Will Smith eh? If he wins, I think Forest Whittaker would have to go all lazy eye on his ass!
Best Foreign Language Film - Pan's Labyrinth!!!!!!!
Best Original Screenplay - Pan's Labyrinth!!!!!!!!
Best Adapted Screenplay - Borat has a screenplay???? Very sad that this is the only big category Children of Men gets a nod in. Think something heavy will get this so straight fight between Notes On A Scandal, The Departed and Little Children here.
Best Editing - Only really technical one I'll talk about, just because the editing in this film is fucking incredible, cuts are seamless, you really get a feel for the atmosphere of the world being created.
Best Animated Film - MONSTER HOUSE! Won't win but great that it was nominated.
Best Supporting Actress - Jenifer Hudson is apparently a cert for Dreamgirls. Very intrigued to see Bable considering that the main acting categories were shut outs. Good for the girl from Little Miss Sunshine I say!
Best Supporting Actor - Alan Arkin. Best thing about Little Miss Sunshine. Jackie Earl Haley apparently the best thing about Little Children. Djimon Honsou, apparently very powerful in Blood Diamond. Mark Whalberg fucking fantastic in The Departed, and.... Eddie Murphy. Toush one this I must say.
Some interesting stuff. Don't think anything is going to walk away with a shit load. So glad Pan's Labyrinth is getting some love even if its in mainly technical departments. For the first time in a few years, my interest is pricked by all this. What do you folks think?
