A link and some comment from Canadian cul-chah maven and all-around nice guy Paul Cantin:
Early general prediction? It'll be the oddball Coens vs. the more conventional Oscar-baiting Atonement, with respect (but fewer prizes) lavished upon PTA's There Will Be Blood.
Observation#1 -- Jason Reitman is nominated for best director on the back of a great young actor and a smart script, but surely Sidney Lumet better deserves recognition for Before The Devil Knows Your Dead.
Observation #2 -- No director nom for Tim Burton, which I think is a good thing.
Observation #3 -- Cate Blanchett nominated for two different films in two different categories! But for best actress, I think she will be overlooked in favor of Julie Christie or Marion Cotillard.
Observation #4 -- P.S. Hoffman is nominated for "Charlie Wilson's War," but not for "The Savages" or "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead." Weird.
Observation #5 -- Hurrah for Casey Affleck for best supporting actor for playing that coward Robert Ford. Unfortunately, it is Javier's year.
