And of course the NYC screening is out of passes

How close is West Orange, NJ to the city?

BE ITALIAN is absolutely one of the best numbers in the film. If you've seen the trailer you get the gist of whats going on - Fergie's part is pretty much (as in the stage show) relegated to just this number but she's terrific and its very exciting.

Daniel Day Lewis is terrific. There will be some who complain about his singing, which is underplayed - but he's charming and completely convincing and we all know his skills as an actor....

Guido is the glue that holds NINE together - its his story - but ironically, especially in the film, what you remember most are, natch the women, who, as his fantasies are given these amazing show piece musical numbers. So the role isn't as 'showy' as you might imagine. I think he could score a nomination, but I would say its probably an outside chance, as compared to some of the women. But that isn't to take anything away from Lewis's performance...

Kate Hudson is sweet, sexy, and fun. Her role, though, like Fergie's is small. Basically, her role is CINEMA ITALIANO.

They are indeed campaigning Cotillard as lead. Hers was probably my favorite performance in the film, but just a hunch I would say both she like Lewis is more of an 'outside' bet for a nomination.

I'd say Dench perhaps has the strongest shot simply because she is SO adored by the industry, followed by Cruz and then Cotillard then Lewis.

I don't think a screenplay nomination is likely. Rarely do musicals get nominated for screenplay.

Somebody asked me this in a PM but probably is something a lot of you might be curious about: Yes, there are substantial lyric changes in a number of songs - notably in MY HUSBAND MAKES MOVIES.

Also, notable is that Guido in the film sings: "especially when my body's clearing 50 as my mind is clearing 10" for anyone who wondered if they were trying to pass Daniel Day Lewis off for 40!

West Orange is only about 20 min away from NYC, I believe. Though I'm not sure how I'm getting there just yet. Just got my passes! Now to find a printer...

edit: How are the other New Yorkers planning on getting there?

Everyone going to the free screening I have never done it but my friend has and he says get there up to 2 hours before because they fill up very fast and people have had to stand before

Not worth standing in line for. It really was not that good.

---

does anyone else think they are doing too much promotion too early? the film doesn't come out for a month and they are already hitting the talk show circuit.

---

I'm not sure if they can keep up this pace lol

oprah episode and 2 late night appearances in one week? insane.

maybe they are having the cast go in rotation... but i don't see them putting fergie, judi or sophia on the press tour.
