Rudeboy is traveling and unable to play. Oscar Guy is up.

Oops - I hope it's not an early sign of what Julie Christie had in the film!

Not only was Away From Her not released theatrically anywhere in 2006, we already gave it five mentions when we did 2007.

Replace with:

Best Actress - Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal
Ensemble - Little Children
Adapted Screenplay - Little Children
