This Time Tomorrow...

We will finally know the nominees. Take this opportunity to have one final open discussion about who should get nominated, who shouldn't, what out of nowhere nomination might we see, what film will get the most nods, predictions in each category, etc. There's no limit, so go wild! At 5:30 in the morning Hollywood time (so 8:30 for those of us who, like me, live in New York or on the east coast) the suspense will be all over. Have at it!

  1. Things I'm worried about: Jenkins and/or Hawkins missing the cut; Clint/Gran Torino displacing more deserving candidates; too little Revolutionary Road and too much Benjamin Button

    Things I'm hopeful for: Multiple Wrestler nominations; TDK for Best pic and score; a surprise Supporting Actor appearance by either Marsan or Irwin

  2. The Wrestler FYC-
    Best Pic
    Best Director
    Best Actor
    Best Supporting Actress
    Best Original Screenplay
    Best Cinematography
    Best Film Editing
    Best Makeup
    Best Original Score
    Best Original Song
    -also would go nuts if Bill Irwin or Emile Hirsch snuck in for supporting actor!

  3. I for one would love to see Clint get one last acting nomination, I thought he was great--sadly, it seems that he would have to knock of Richard Jenkins to do so...so, maybe if he could knock off Brad Pitt instead...
    I think Benjamin Button will lead the nomination count with Slumdog Millionaire and Doubt coming in closely behind. I think that The Wrestler will be vastly overlooked and only end up with 2 nominations instead of the 4 or even 6 that it deserves. I think that Kate Winslet will win for Revolutionary Road (finally) and I don't think I'd mind her walking away with a sweep...
    I know that its not likely, but I'd love to see Deakins finally win one...though, I think last year was a better shot. In short, anything could still happen tomorrow morning...who saw Dreamgirls getting knocked off? Just throwing that one out there...

  4. i'd like to see WALL-E or The Wrestler slide into a slot instead of Frost/Nixon for Best Pic, but anything can happen

  5. if only Demme could get in for Rachel in directing, but i'll be thrilled if Aronofsky gets in too

  6. Surprises I'm hoping for (but not counting on): more 'Rev Road' recognition than we've seen. Like, best actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actress (the biggest long shot), adapted screenplay, art direction, and score.
    Less love for 'Benjamin Buttons'- best picture snub.
