Bening is a previous SAG winner so the notion that she would win a second one while Portman had to settle for just a nomination struck me as unlikely. Whether Portman's win pushes her further into Oscar's sights or had the effect of the majority of voters thinking "enough" I don't know. I...

Eric wrote:Rush is admittedly the highlight in this cast. I'd be cool with him upsetting Bale. Or, rather, I'd be among the 1% not apoplectic if he did.

Happy birthday!
