-They certainly mixed it up in a few places...
They seemed to split between the favorites and the long shots...
ReplyDeleteMaya Rudolph has gotten a lot of critics circle buzz - any chance she might make the Oscar cut? I really loved Away We Go and especially her performance...

ReplyDeleteRudolph is a long shot, but not out of the race...
ReplyDeleteI saw Thirst at the end of a long day and honestly slept through parts, not that the film was bad, just I was tired. What I remember of it is pretty good...
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited to see Viggo Mortensen finally getting some recognition for his earth-shattering performance in The Road. and the runner up mention for John Hillcoat was icing on the cake for me! :)
