    Speaking of the GGs, what's the deal with that Christmas song in contention? Elizabethtown had a decent original song offering and it lost out to a movie not even released in 2005 (2004 to be exact) what gives??? Might not matter since the award went to the song from Alfie that wasn't even...

    Did anyone read the NY Post today? A one page article against Brokeback Mountain that can bring a few points against the film. I feel that the bigger backlash films can cancel each other out...It'll be interesting to see this week where the Golden Globes, the NY Critics and the rest here on...

    With the win of Brokeback Mountain at the LA Critics Awards drawing first blood, pay close attention to the runner-up for all the categories and if LA Critic Award history has taught us anything, the runners up have been strong Oscar contenders such as Prizzi's Honor and Titanic. A History of...

    Don't count out Ziyi Zhang.. so she won't be nominated for Memoirs of a Geisha, but there is her performance they've been talking about since summer in "2046" which I must say is a very good one. With Christmas being one of the settings of this film, it'll fit in with the season and she's got...

    I still believe that if it weren't for the other big films opening History of Violence would have a shot. It should be one of the five. As I said before, it's a big possibility that the biopics will do well in the acting department but not so much in the Best Picture department being that with...

    Seth, Great analysis but do you feel that HOV has potential in many of the categories? Who do you feel are leading contenders for director: Personally I feel Cronenberg and Merceilles have good chances...what's your opinion? We'd like to know

    First of all, a win by any of the biopics in Best Actor will set off a cliche (Jamie Foxx won last year and it's unlikely lightning will strike twice) and I think with the great abundance, many of them unfortunately this year will cancel each other out Another thing about that Geisha trailer...

    I think Crash will be in contention but not in Best Picture... I feel History of Violence has a better chance at Best Picture. It's gonna be a tough year as far as I can see...the big question is come December through February is going to determine who the survivors will be I still feel...

    More hope for History of Violence...the effect of that film has not left me since...I have a feeling it'll have the same for Academy members as well especially the less is more approach Cronenberg administered on this film and the great performance by Viggo as well

    I even think History of Violence is still a solid contender...I still think it leaves an effect that stick with you afterwards and Viggo's performance (along with Maria Bello) are both worthy...this also goes for Cronenberg's direction and the art direction in the piece and lets not forget the...

    Sin City should be a strong contender in many categories (Best Directors, Best Visuals, Sound, Supporting Actor for Mickey Rourke, even best Picture IT WAS THAT GOOD) I think a film I had seen at Tribeca (a few films actually) should've gotten distribution deals for a better shot for the end...
