I don't know if I count as one of "those other people" but I've been reading the reactions. I enjoyed the Oscars. Even though my favorite, There Will Be Blood, didn't win BD and BP, I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan so I was very happy to see them win. I was happy for Once, Tilda, Marion, The Golden...

There Will Be Blood (Period), The Golden Compass (Fantasy) and No Country For Old Men (Contemporary) won the Art Directors Guild. No Country For Old Men won the Cinema Audio Society awards.

I wasn't very excited last year. I was still hurting terribly from Brokeback Mountain's loss and though I liked most of the movies up for nominations, there wasn't anything I felt passionate about. This year's totally different. I'm passionate, nay, totally completely OBSESSED with There...

(snob alert, sorry) Agreed, but for her to win over Cotillard, Christie and Linney (I haven't seen Elizabeth myself) would be an absolute joke, just as the absurd thought of Juno winning over There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Michael Clayton or Atonement is. Page didn't even give the...

I feel the same about Boogie Nights and Magnolia (and Punch-Drunk Love too) but I also feel that way about There Will Be Blood. I've seen it 3 times and I've been itching to go back to the theater to see it again, but circumstances have conspired against it. I know I'll see it at least a few...

As mentioned earlier, it was disqualified at the last minute, even after the votes had been counted. I think it's a given that it would have been a nominee. The disqualification is outrageous and stinks of some behind-the-scenes shenanigans. All I really really REALLY wanted was for There...

I saw Cloverfield at a sneak preview last night. I'm not going to spoil the movie, but I will say that if you're the LEAST BIT sensitive to shakycam, you're going to hate this movie with the passion of a million suns. It's nothing BUT! I have no sensitivity to shakycam whatsoever. I loved...

Interesting thoughts Patrick! I don't think we know enough about Paul to be sure of that. His family was messed up. The father was a brutal weakling (he let Plainview walk all over him, but he'd beat Mary for not praying), his twin brother was a con artist posing as a evangelist, plus he lived...

Why? Personally, I really don't care what happens with anything as long as There Will Be Blood is nominated. I can even take a Best Picture loss if it loses to No Country For Old Men. Daniel Day-Lewis better not lose though. That would be the biggest blunder by the Academy since Citizen...

Just a bump to say that all the latest Guild and non-Guild awards have been updated. Me doing this is probably unnecessary, since Adam is keeping everything up-to-date himself in the other thread, but I'll keep up the tradition for the rest of this awards season.

Just a bump to say I've posted the Visual Effects Society and American Society of Cinematographers nominations. Also, tons of results have been added to the non-Guild Awards page. Guild page non-Guild page

Thanks Jose! I read that SAG members on the nominating panel didn't get screeners of Atonement until very late, and it's still in limited release, so not enough of them saw it. I was wondering, because it's shocking to me that Atonement got no nominations at all. I still think it'll get a...

UPDATE: Art Directors and Cinema Audio Society winners added. As I've done for the past 7 years, I'm keeping track of the various Guild Awards. Instead of posting results here though, I've made a web page. I've just added the first of the Guild awards, the nominations for the Screen...

I updated my Awards page with the AFI winners and the Satellite winners. The AFI Movies of the year were: Before The Devil Knows You're Dead The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Into The Wild Juno Knocked Up Michael Clayton No Country For Old Men Ratatouille The Savages There Will Be Blood

I've updated my Awards Season page with the winners from the Chicago Film Critics.
