While I'm still trying to find the other nominees, here's the article that was posted today: Art Director Guild Announces Nominations 10:50 PM 1/4/2011 by Gregg Kilday The King's Speech,' 'Inception,' 'The Social Network' were nominated in all three categories. As awards season heats up, the Art Di...

In defense of Oscarguy's point, I think that he's saying that both The Kids Are All Right and Winter's Bone have the same thing going for their favor: both being directed by women and in a year where the first woman won Best Director in the previous year. However, what The Kids Are All Right has go...

I do remember that District 9, An Education and In the Loop were all ruled ineligible.

Wow. So THE TOWN is three-for-three with the Guilds so far. Pretty good. I know the only nomination it will probably get from the Academy is for Renner, but I am happy it is getting some attention. Actually, I'm guessing four nominations for The Town. Best Picture (as a Dark Horse candidate), Best ...

Please Give is a movie that got a lot of surprise nominations and love from the Independent Spirit Awards.

I was kinda switching between Winter's Bone and The Kids Are All Right for the nomination, but in the end, I remembered that it was the Producers Guild, so I thought of what appeared to be the best produced over what only had word of mouth to rely on. Funny enough, I actually predicted these nomine...

Producers Guild Nominates 'Social Network,' 'King's Speech,' 'Fighter' By Steve Pond "The Social Network," "The King's Speech" and "The Fighter" are among the feature films singled out by the Producers Guild of America, whose 10 nominees for the Darryl F. Zanuck Produc...

Funny thing about all this speculation of who's going to win is pretty much moot, as the Academy's winner has generally lined up with the WGA's winner. The ones that haven't were: 2009 Up in the Air --- Precious 2003 American Splendor --- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2002 Bowling f...

Something I just thought of, if the history of the Academy has taught us anything, it's that the Best Picture nominee/winner will always win out. Think about it: 2009: Avatar over District 9 and Star Trek 2008: Curious Case of Benjamin Button over The Dark Knight and Iron Man 2001-3: The Lord of th...

For better or for worse, these are the movies that I can see filling in the slots as to where Alice in Wonderland and Black Swan are (though I already feel A.R. Rahman is in for 127 Hours): - Never Let Me Go; Rachel Portman - The Next Three Days; Danny Elfman & Alberto Iglesias - The Tourist; J...

That's kinda what had me wondering which way they would go with these. I had a feeling that Inception might go under the Fantasy category, despite having interior design work that is obviously modern. They did the same thing with The Dark Knight, even though it wasn't much of a fantasy setting. Bla...
