Bardem is nominated in the supporting actor category.
Wow, leave it to the Academy to cheapen a great year at the movies with these nominees. Not that they are all unworthy. It's just that this year, like every year, they have overlooked so very much fine work. I think it's a joke that 3:10 to Yuma is nominated in the category for best original score when the music for that movie is a decided weak point; once again, the Academy decided to squeeze another deserving flim in any way that they saw fit. I haven't seen some of these movies, most notably perhaps, Atonement. At any rate, I have listed my winner predictions in bold. The other likely contender is designated by an asterisk. Best picture Atonement* Michael Clayton No Country for Old Men There Will Be Blood (The winner should rightly be No Country For Old Men or Rescue Dawn, which isn't nominated.) Best director Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Jason Reitman, Juno Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood (The winner should be the Coen Bros., or should rightly be Werner Herzog for Rescue Dawn, which isn't nominated.) Best actor George Clooney, Michael Clayton* Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd Tommy Lee Jones, In the Valley of Elah Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises (The winner should rightly be Christian Bale (who isn't nominated) for Rescue Dawn or Russell Crowe for 3:10 to Yuma who also isn't nominated.) Best actress Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age* Julie Christie, Away from Her Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose Laura Linney, The Savages Ellen Page, Juno Best supporting actress Cate Blanchett, I'm Not There Ruby Dee, American Gangster Saoirse Ronan, Atonement* Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton Best supporting actor Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James...* Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men Philip Seymour Hoffman, Charlie Wilson's War Hal Holbrook, Into the Wild Tom Wilkinson, Michael Clayton (The winner should rightly be Javier Barden for No Country For Old Men or Jeremy Davies for Rescue Dawn who is not nominated. They might just give it to the kid, Casey Affleck. Peter Fonda should have been nominated for 3:10 to Yuma.) Best foreign language film Beaufort, Israel The Counterfeiters, Austria Katyn, Poland Mongol, Kazakhstan 12, Russia Best animated feature film Persepolis Ratatouille Surf's Up Best adapted screenplay Atonement * Away from Her The Diving Bell and the Butterfly No Country for Old Men There Will Be Blood Best original screenplay Juno* Lars and the Real Girl Michael Clayton Ratatouille The Savages Best music (score) Atonement The Kite Runner Michael Clayton Ratatouille* 3:10 to Yuma Best music (song) Falling Slowly - Once (performed by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) Happy Working Song - Enchanted (performed by Amy Adams) Raise It Up - August Rush (performed by Jamia Simone Nash and Impact Repertory Theatre) So Close - Enchanted (performed by Jon McLaughlin) That's How You Know - Enchanted (performed by Amy Adams) Best documentary feature No End in Sight Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience Sicko Taxi to the Dark Side War/Dance Best documentary short subject Freeheld La Corona (The Crown) Salim Baba Sari's Mother Best visual effects The Golden Compass Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Transformers Best cinematography The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Atonement* The Diving Bell and the Butterfly No Country for Old Men There Will Be Blood (3:10 to Yuma should have been nominated.) Best art direction American Gangster Atonement The Golden Compass Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* There Will Be Blood (It's ridiculous that No Country For Old Men isn't even nominated in this category.) Best animated short film I Met the Walrus Madame Tutli-Putli Meme Les Pigeons Vont au Paradis (Even Pigeons Go to Heaven) My Love (Moya Lyubov) Peter & the Wolf Best short film At Night Il Supplente Le Mozart des Pickpockets Tanghi Argentini The Tonto Woman Best costume design Across the Universe Atonement* Elizabeth: The Golden Age La Vie en Rose Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Best make-up La Vie en Rose Norbit Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (This probably should go to Norbit, but will not for the obvious haha reasons.) Best sound mixing The Bourne Ultimatum* No Country for Old Men Ratatouille 3:10 to Yuma Transformers Sound editing The Bourne Ultimatum No Country for Old Men Ratatouille* There Will Be Blood Transformers Best film editing The Bourne Ultimatum* The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Into the Wild No Country for Old Men* There Will Be Blood (This should rightly go to No Country for Old Men, but the Academy will want to spread the statues around as they are wont to do.) |

I didn't think that Atonement was as great as all the critics seemed to think it was. It was probably technically really good (I'm no expert on the technical side of film-making, hence I say probably), the start of it was a good depiction of certain part of British society in the '30s, and the war scenes did a good depiction of the horror of war, but as a whole I found it a bit lacking in focus. I'm pleased that Keira Knightley hasn't been nominated for best actress for it, because she didn't really do enough to deserve it. Anyway, I don't think she's ready for that accolade just yet.

And Wes Anderson gets snubbed again. Darjeeling Limited was way better than Juno (though I loved Juno)

Why the hell was Surf's Up nominated? That was a predictable piece of shit.

neither atonement, nor michael clayton, nor juno should be up for best picture.
sub those with eastern promises, the assasination of jesse james (finally saw it and it was the fastest 3 hrs and forty minutes ive ever witnessed on film, utterly brilliant), and i guess american gangster. the academy is just too chicken shit to have 5 ultra violent films be nominated even though they were the best films of the year. |

and dude, rescue dawn was absolutley awful, bale is great, that movie is shit. daniel day lewis is one of the few actors who elevates a performance to art, and there will be blood is his career high. it was the film of the year ive now decided after seeing it twice, slightly edging old men and eastern promises.

I don't recall seeing the other films in the Best supporting actor category, but I think Casey Affleck deserves to win something for his part in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
I really want to see No Country for Old Men.

I saw Rescue Dawn and I thought it was good, but I didn't think it was great.

I would substitute a few ones that are different, but yeah, I agree that you're most probably right in assuming that the Academy shying away from all of them having violent themes. |
