FYI: Ewan McGregor is being promoted as Supporting Actor and according to people who've seen the film, it's appropriate category placement.

I have a friend who has just seen Silver Linings Playbook and says that he'd be stunned if it wasn't nominated for Musical or Comedy.

Yeah, Beasts is the kind of movie the Academy will honor. Not the Foreign Press. Possibly Anna Karenina or one of the big unseens: Django Unchained or Zero Dark Thirty. Or...

Here is the big question. Will they push Silver Linings Playbook as a Drama or a Comedy? I'm going to bet that it gets pushed as a Drama. They're going to push its importance and uplift just like Up in the Air. While I personally think pushing Up in the Air as a Drama was a big mistake b/c it could have easily won the Globe for Best Musical or Comedic Film over The Hangover (not like that would have really mattered come Oscar night), pitting Silver Linings Playbook against Les Miserables is like suicide. Les Miserables is going to win this award. Put Silver Linings Playbook in Drama and drop The Exotic Marigold Hotel in its place. Maybe To Rome with Love instead of Hitchcock.

Hoffman is supporting. No doubt in my mind. Don't think Trintinigant is getting in either. Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings (unless it's pushed for Comedy which I don't think will happen) and Denzel Washington for Flight.

No to Riva. Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook. And if Cotillard or Watts doesn't make it in? How about Jennifer Lawrence for The Hunger Games? She could grab two nominations in the same category.

Obviously, we haven't seen Les Miserables but I'm going to bet that Russell Crowe gets in for Supporting. I like Hopkins, Jackman, and Jones. How about Bill Murray for Hyde Park on Hudson? Sounds like something they'd dully honor.

Already spoken my peace on Silver Linings. In her place, how about Amanda Seyfriend for Les Miserables? How about Maggie Smith for Quartet or Laura Linney for Hyde Park on Hudson or Helen Mirren for Hitchcock instead of Leslie Mann for This is 40?

I think Russell Crowe is getting shoehorned in this category. He's in instead of Arkin. Philip Seymour Hoffman is definitely in this category. He's here instead of Walken. I feel like I read something that said that the true standouts of Lincoln (from an early screening) are Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones. With Tommy Lee Jones playing Thaddeus Stevens, I think that's the stuff that's going to connect with voters. I'd replace Strathairn with Jones. So that's Crowe, De Niro, DiCaprio, Hoffman, Jones. If there's six? How about McConaughey for Magic Mike?

Already a weak lineup. I've seen Adams in The Master. She won't win but she could grab a nomination. Smith is probably in. If Hitchcock goes over well, Johansson could stay in. It's strange that everybody is predicting Hathaway for a win when we haven't seen her performance but everybody has seen Barks' performance and nobody is predicting the same.

Oooh! Predicting a Spielberg snub! I like it. Still hedging my bets. He's in replacing Lee.

I see Lincoln instead of Beasts. I see Les Miserables instead of Moonrise Kingdom.

I love Desplat's scoring of Moonrise Kingdom. Not confident it's going to come close to happening. James Newton Howard for The Hunger Games, Dario Marianelli for Anna Karenina, or Howard Shore for The Hobbit.

It's still a big if but the Globes could nominate Dame Maggie for three awards this year - Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Quartet; Best Supporting Actress for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Best Actress in a TV Series Drama for Downton Abbey expanding her total haul to twelve. SAG could follow and BAFTA and Oscar could nominate her twice over as well. It would expand her Oscar nominations to eight and make her the oldest double acting nominee ever at 78.
Dame Maggie had a terribly underwritten part in Exotic.....Hotel and she won't get a mention for it.

What about Jack Black in Bernie?
Agree with Jack Black in Bernie, but I would charactize Maggie Smith's role in Exotic as deceptively small rather than underwritten. Quartet[/i is a bigger if].

I'd also reconsider Beasts of the Southern Wild. Yes, the American critics love it but the Hollywood Foreign Press are a different kettle of fish and I don't think they will embrace the film which as much enthusiasm as high brow critics have. The film seems to resonate more with Americans then International audiences which in some ways is a reflection of the HWP. Beasts is now beginning it's international release and it's performance at the box office outside the U.S. could give some indication to it's nomination prospects. For example it's performing poorly in Australia where it opened 2 weeks ago in limited release (25 screens nationally), though with only a 12% drop off in it's second week. However it started on very poor screen averages for a limited release. That no one I know is even talking about the film isn't a good sign of it's future prospects in Australia this coming week. Though to be fair I should mention everything has under performed at the box office in the last two weeks, must be all the nice weather we have having.

How about Mark Wahlberg in Ted. It's been a monster hit worldwide and received respectable enough reviews, certainly more so then Hope Springs.

I know I've been banging the drum for The Sessions for sometime now but this will go down big with the Globes (and SAG, not to mention the critics and Academy) and I consider it pretty much a sure bet for Picture, Director, Actor, Actress (Helen Hunt is lead, I know everyone on the internet is saying she is supporting but they haven't even seen the ....ing film), Supporting Actor (William H. Macy) and Screenplay.

Also I don't know when the Weinsteins are releasing The Sapphires but if it a 2012 release it could be a big player in the Comedy/Musical categories. When Harvey acquired the film at Cannes in May he described it as this years The Artist, though the films are worlds apart. Of course what he probably meant was that they are both crowd pleasers. The film would be a likely contender for Film, Lead Actress (Deborah Mailman) and Chris O'Dowd (I'd place him in lead but a case could be made for supporting). The film had the audience and critics in Cannes in raptures. It's the sort of film that the Hollywood Foreign Press would love.

I know the Globes LOVE Meryl but surely even they will draw a line with what must be the dullest film of the year, Hope Springs.
