Atonement? Michael Clayton? Juno? Ok, I actually don't have a whole lot against those films, but come on. No Into the Wild? I was predicting that would be one of the biggest nominations winners.
Ah well, todays nominations prove something I've been saying for a few months now- it's all between No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. I'm guessing-
Picture- No Country for Old Men
Director- The Coens for No Country for Old Men
Actor- Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
Actress- Julie Christie, Away from Her
Supporting Actor- Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Supporting Actress- Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
Original Screenplay- Juno
Adadpted Screenplay- No Country for Old Men
Editing- No Country for Old Men
Cinematography- There Will Be Blood
Art Direction- There Will Be Blood
Costume- Atonement
Make-Up- La Vie en Rose
Score- Atonement
Song- "Falling Slowly" from Once
Sound- Transformers
Sound Editing- Transformers
Visual Effects- Transformers
Animated Movie- Ratatouille
Foreign Film- Beaufort
Documentary- No End in Sight
Yeah... so this year they really screwed us. There Will Be Blood's score totally deserved it, but they wouldn't let it in. Probably because they don't like rock stars (Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead did the score).
Atonement got in. Am I the only one who's sick of this whole "British thing"? As in... you know, British people?
Michael Clayton? Come on now. Come on.
AH well, like I said, at least I can take solice in the fact that the only two movies that stand a chance are No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood.
