Sorry for the PA-Dutch speak.

I read BBM would get eleven in two places, including OscarWatch. I think there may be fewer. I now wonder if Jake might not make it, But whatever, right? With the new backlash fervor pouring in (you should read the Austrailian press onlline: "LITTLE HOPE ON THE PRAIRIE FOR HEATH..."), there may be room for a dark or horse, or two, by March 5. Or not.

I do think the SAG "shut out" might be overinterpreted. After all, last year SIDEWAYS won the ensemble, and no one really thought it had a chance over BABY. But BABY also had this "over-hyped" vibe by late January. Right here at this board.

I didn't see Palindromes. Good movie or just a good performance?

I loved it. Not to everyone's taste, tho. Barkin was amazing!

I got it comin from netflix any day now, Borstal--I've read great things about Barkin and I love Todd.

Auggie, I think Jake will get in there and will win, proving all the press Heath has received rather ironic. For some reason, maybe it was here, but I recall reading an article saying that the bottom always gets nominated. :)

I would love for Joan Allen to get a nod for "Upside of Anger. It will never happen.. but she is so deserving of it.

Don't give up, DAME, Joan is VERY popular with the Academy, with three noms...I think she'll get in!

Matt Dillon for Crash. True he got a SAG nom, but not so sure about Oscar, but Hoping he will

Also Terrence Howard for Crash.

I'll just throw this one out there: Mickey Rourke. One of the most acclaimed and extraordinary performances of 2005, and he's won a handful of awards.

Felicity WILL be nominated tomorrow---or I'll eat my damn TV!

I think 11 is an unreasonable prediction for the number of nominations BROKEBACK will get. Usually only big-budget films can garner that many because they can rake in the tech nods. I'd say it'll get as many as a film like AMERICAN BEAUTY (re: Who are your long shots for Oscar nods?.

Long shots? I'm just going to say it right here: Peter Jackson for KING KONG.

Brokeback will likely get noms for:

Picture
Director
Screenplay
Actor
Supp Actor
Supp Actress
Score
Song
Editing
Cinematography

So, I predict 10.

I'm putting in a final hour long shot karma push for:

Best Supporting Actress: Thandie Newton, Crash
And the double nomination of Terrance Howard for both Hustle & Flow and Crash.

I also think that at this point, it isn't a long shot for Crash to be nominated for Best Picture. In fact, I'd be suprised if it isn't.

touchme---You should be very happy! Two of your "long shots" noted got in:

Crash for Best Pic, and Knightley for Best Actress.

(I was pretty confident she would get in, though.)

Thoroughly undeserved, but he got it.


Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Tell me...was Matt Dillon's nomination deserved?

I didn't expect it.

Matt's was deserved because it was seen a a comeback for him in a unexpected performance. His cast mates could all have equally warranted a nomination--Thandie Newton, Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, and Terrence Howard.

Well, what do you know? I predicted BROKEBACK's nomination tally exactly.
