1. BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMAAMERICAN GANGSTER
ATONEMENT
EASTERN PROMISES
THE GREAT DEBATERS
MICHAEL CLAYTON
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Wonderful news for "Eastern Promises" and "There Will Be Blood". "The Great Debaters" is an interesting surprise, but most likely only made it because is brand spanking new and feels 'important'
2. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
CATE BLANCHETT – ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE
JULIE CHRISTIE – AWAY FROM HER
JODIE FOSTER – THE BRAVE ONE
ANGELINA JOLIE – A MIGHTY HEART
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY – ATONEMENT
Keira needed this to stay alive. Nice to see Jodie nominated as well. Of course this will look extremely different come Oscar time with the comedy/musical actresses owning this year. It is likely that 3 of these ladies will be dropped.
3. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
GEORGE CLOONEY – MICHAEL CLAYTON
DANIEL DAY-LEWIS – THERE WILL BE BLOOD
JAMES MCAVOY – ATONEMENT
VIGGO MORTENSEN – EASTERN PROMISES
DENZEL WASHINGTON – AMERICAN GANGSTER
Yay James!!! He so deserves this. I am most happy to see Viggo's name finally appear. He was sensational, and now with this nomination and his film in Best Picture drama, he has finally gotten the traction he needs. This will either go to Clooney (star fucking) or Day-Lewis. The biggest snub would have to be for Frank Langella in "Starting Out in the Evening" he has a few critics awards going in...now he hits a bump in the road.
4. BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
HAIRSPRAY
JUNO
SWEENEY TODD
No "Knocked Up" or "Enchanted". Kind of happy to see "Across the Universe" here though.
5.BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICALAMY ADAMS – ENCHANTED
NIKKI BLONSKY – HAIRSPRAY
HELENA BONHAM CARTER – SWEENEY TODD
MARION COTILLARD – LA VIE EN ROSE
ELLEN PAGE – JUNO
Poor poor Laura Linney. What does the lady have to do? Still this is a strong line up. Expect to see Marion walk away with this......unless Ellen and Amy start getting vicious
6. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
JOHNNY DEPP – SWEENEY TODD
RYAN GOSLING – LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
TOM HANKS – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN – THE SAVAGES
JOHN C. REILLY – WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY
Johnny Depp all the way.
7. BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
BEE MOVIE
RATATOUILLE
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
There is no way Pixar can loose this, unless they are all "Simpsons" geeks
8. BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS (ROMANIA)
THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY (FRANCE AND USA)
THE KITE RUNNER (USA)
LUST, CAUTION (TAIWAN)
PERSEPOLIS (FRANCE)
With a nod for Director and Screenplay "The Diving Bell" will surely walk away with this. Interesting that "Persepolis" gets in here, but not in Animated......those crazy HFPA' and their crack smoking"
9. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURECATE BLANCHETT – I’M NOT THERE
JULIA ROBERTS – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
SAOIRSE RONAN –ATONEMENT
AMY RYAN – GONE BABY GONE
TILDA SWINTON – MICHAEL CLAYTON
My god did Saoirse and Tilda need this. Julia is not a threat...it is just yet another case of star fucking on a mammoth scale. I wonder who will win though. Cate seems likely, but Saoirse and Amy could upset
10. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
CASEY AFFLECK – THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD
JAVIER BARDEM –NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
JOHN TRAVOLTA – HAIRSPRAY
TOM WILKINSON – MICHAEL CLAYTON
Is the Travolta nod some sort of tragic foreshadowing? You know he got his nomination at the expense of Hal Holbrook. And why does Hoffman get two nods but Linney gets nothing?? I wouldn't be surprised to see Affleck get this, although fully expecting Bardem to walk with it.
11. BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE
TIM BURTON – SWEENEY TODD
ETHAN COEN & JOEL COEN – NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
JULIAN SCHNABEL – THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
RIDLEY SCOTT – AMERICAN GANGSTER
JOE WRIGHT – ATONEMENT
Who will they go for. This is a tough category. I think Schnabel and Scott are out, but the other three...hmmm....head scratching in the worst. Me thinks Wright could slip through unless they LOVE "Sweeney". Such a shame that they snubbed P.T. Anderson here...
12. BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE
DIABLO CODY – JUNO
ETHAN COEN & JOEL COEN – NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON – ATONEMENT
RONALD HARWOOD – THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
AARON SORKIN – CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR
...and here. Also "The Savages" should totally be here. "Atonement" and "Juno" will fight this one to the death.
13. BEST ORIGINAL SCORE – MOTION PICTURE
MICHAEL BROOK, KAKI KING, EDDIE VEDDER – INTO THE WILD
CLINT EASTWOOD – GRACE IS GONE
ALBERTO IGLESIAS – THE KITE RUNNER
DARIO MARIANELLI – ATONEMENT
HOWARD SHORE – EASTERN PROMISES
Hmmmmm. "Atonement" has got this one unless they love "The Kite Runner".
14. BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE"DESPEDIDA" – LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
"GRACE IS GONE" – GRACE IS GONE
"GUARANTEED" – INTO THE WILD
"THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW" – ENCHANTED

Those bastards. How could they not nominate "Falling Slowly"
