Travolta for Haispray? Truly one of worst performances of the year. His nomination is a joke.

Well since I was three hours late with my New York Film Critics' predictions, which was politely noted by Big Magilla, muchc to by embarrasment--I dithered too long-- I am making these good and early. I am not sure whether they are actually my predictions or my wishes and hopes, a little of both. I should note that I haven't more than skimmed the other predictors, but with the precursors, things are falling into place:

Best Picture(Drama) Atonement
r.u. No Country For Old Men
Best Actor (Drama) George Clooney
r.u. Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Actress(Drama) Julie Christie
r.u. Angelina Jolie
Best Picture(Comedy/Mus.) Juno
r.u. Sweeney Todd
Best Actor(Com./Mus.) Johnny Depp
r.u. Ryan Gosling
Best Actress(Com./Mus.) Ellen Page
r.u. Marion Cotillard
Best Supporting Actor Javier Bardem
r.u. Tom Wilkinson
Best Score Into The Wild
r.u. Eastern Promises
Best Song That's How You Know
r.u. Guaranteed
Foreign Language Film: 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
r.u. The Diving-Bell And The Butterfly
Animated Film: Ratatouille
r.u. The Simpsons Movie

You **know** that I've held my nose with some of them.
