I finally saw GN&GL this past weekend. It's a great film, surely one of the year's best. But, sad to say, I don't think it's going to be major Oscar bait (ie., Best Picture & Director). It lacks the emotional punch that usually accompanies most BP winners. That's not a criticism of the film; but simply an observation of how the Academy chooses it's big winners.
I do think Cinematography and Screenplay noms are near certain. Hopefully Strathairn will also get the Best Actor nod he so richly deserves.

I can't let this go without comment - Are you kidding? Were you asleep during the 70s & 80s???
