  1. WGA, DGA, PGA and the ACE Eddies have starred the same five films and 4/5 were nominated for that ever-important SAG Ensemble...I agree that its just ignorant at this point not to have Frost/Nixon on your predicted five...sure, Howard may be the most vulnerable director...but seriously, lets be honest

  2. Everything aligns almost too perfectly. All of these guilds are naming the same five films, and even at the SAG awards, TDK was replaced with the logical choice of Doubt (we always knew it was more of an actor's piece anyway). When it's all this perfect, something feels like a big surprise is going to happen next Thursday.
