Not that I would ever want to see any of the Paul Haggis predictions to come true, but they seem to like him in the Academy. The possibility is lurking around in the back of my mind.

I'll agree with anonymous. You have to be a fan of the Potter series to appreciate what Staunton did in Order of the Phoenix. Her portrayal is spot-on and a lot of people saw that.

Imelda Staunton was fantastic in Harry Potter. She was funny, frightening, absolutely irritating and she made me hate her. Just like how I envisioned the character when I read the book. She'll be in MY personal awards for sure.rudeboy wrote:Does anyone truly think Staunton has a chance for arguably the worst performance of the year?

This is where we can post what we think might be huge surprises when the nominations are announced. To start, I predict that Michael Moore will be the first documentarian to get a Best Director nomination for Sicko. I'm doing this because of the many older members of the academy and how health care, although a huge issue for the entire country, is an especially critical issue for older Americans.
