Best picture seems to be a battle of the traditional pick, No Country. And the wild card, Juno. Much like Million Dollar Baby and Aviator in 2004 and Brokeback Mountain and Crash in 2005.

Right now I'd give the edge to No Country but oscars can be unpredictable.

So its tons of oscar nominations should be ignored and the fact it is considered a real contender for best picture should be ignored? Jesus, Ichi you can hate it and me but unlike Paul Juno is not a weird outsider in oscar land like Paul is in politics. And I have posted I think ONE juno thread ever and it was like 2 months ago

Wow, cheebs, your love of Juno is insane. 

He's going to ruin that movie for everyone by the time the Oscars roll around.  It's going to be the Departed/Borat thing all over again.

I would probably be looking forward to what seems like a mildly amusing indie comedy with Michael Cera if it weren't for Gay Boy.  Now I'm already getting a mild sense of nausea whenever I read the word "Juno," especially if it's in a Jake Yenor post.

If the worst happens and they can't negotiate a deal with the writers, it'll just be a press conference like the situation with the Golden Globes.

Half? Which ones. I can't see Amy Ryan losing best supporting actress, nor diablo cody for original screenplay, nor the coens for adapted, or ratatouille for animated, or coens for director, and of course daniel day lewis for actor.

Those are all locks. Wtf has a better chance than those in those categories?

The other like THREE I took chances on but all 100% of those outside of the 3 I just listed no way are losing, at all. If you think any of those are wrong then you are pretty damn well clueless. All of those picks in this post are the front running obvious picks.

Enchanted may be like Dreamgirls last year where it has like 9248929248924 songs nominated so the vote is split leaving the winner for whatever was left over. That credit song from Inconvenient Truth beat all the dreamgirls nominations cause of that.  :lol

Little Miss Sunshine was pretty mediocre too.

Juno is leagues better than that though.

Juno is a pretty good film, I must say. There was some of the indie shoutout shit, but it was like one fucking scene. I think Ellen Page deserves to win, not only for this, but because of her kicking ass in Hard Candy

No Country for Old Men is going to get Best Picture though. And clean house in its categories. JAVIER FUCKING BARDEM MOTHER FUCKERS.

Zodiac is great. Robert Downy Jr. should have at least been nominated for best supporting actor. Obviously he wouldn't win but jeez, that movie deserves some recognition

Zodiac was robbed.  Robbed I tells ya. 
If it came out in the fall it'd get awards. People forget movies early in the year.

demi, you're trying to reason with a douche who keeps his Star Trek DVDs hidden under his bed so his friends won't make fun of him.
No it's not that I fear being made fun of it. It's that it totally goes against how I act in real life. What was it you called it? "wannabe hipster"?

Perhaps "shithead" is more appropriate.

Because I don't wear my geek interests on my sleeve and put little star wars toys on my desk to show I like star wars and so forth? Wonderful.

Uh, not collecting action figures and hiding shit that you DO own aren't really on the same level.

I have the ST DVDs and I'm not ashamed to show them. They are among many movies that I own, they are among my interests, why would I be ashamed of that.

Most of its American screenings happened in 2007 but it doesn't matter, It's still better then 2 of the 3 up there(then again depending on tastes its better then all of them).

If it was screened even once in New York or LA during 2006, it's sadly ineligible.

It was also a part of the 44th New York Film Festival, playing on October 7, 2006

Juno is just so fucking terrible, it pains me to see all those nominations.  Fortunately it doesn't stand a chance in any of the categories except maybe Best Screenplay (where I will pray that Michael Clayton beats it out).

Why did Hollywood pick this year to lavish praise on quirky shit for hipsters?  Why didn't they reward all the other previous films that Juno is painfully imitating?  Is it because Juno is a studio flick?

Nice to see Michael Clayton get so many nominations, though.  I really enjoyed that flick.  Clooney will fall to Daniel Day Lewis, but here's hoping Tilda Swanton gets a statue for her performance.

Supporting actress is probably the easiest award to predict this year by far. Amy Ryan has that locked up. Which I don't know why, she wasn't the best part of GBG but that award is hers without question.

While I love the Bourne films I didn't see anything that made me think Damon=oscar nom. He does his job in the films, and does it well. But it's not like he's asked to do much in terms of emotional range or subtlety. He's just there to kick ass.
