Black Swan is a better film. But Fincher deserves Best Director. I'm not usually in favor of a split in these catagories, but this year could be an exception.

I'm trying to think which 10 films get the nod. I figure:
The Social Network
Black Swan
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
The Fighter

Seem like locks. But what else? Toy Story 3? True Grit? 127 Hours? I don't even know.

If they are released before the deadline, I'd guess "Somewhere" "Blue Valentine" and "Tree of Life" will all be nominated. I'm almost positive Somewhere and Blue Valentine qualify. Doubt the last.

The Tree of Life is a 2011 release. Lucky for the rest of the movies, because I predict The Tree of Life will win everything from Best Picture to Cinematography.

I don't think Blue Valentine will be nominated because of its controversial N-17 rating that they almost stamped on it. Could be wrong though.


According to RopeofSilicon website

1 The Social Network
2 The King's Speech
3 The Fighter
4 Black Swan
5 The Kids are All Right
6 127 Hours
7 Toy Story 3
8 Inception
9 True Grit
10 Winter's Bone

I'll actually be sort of surprised to see Winter's Bone get the Best Picture nod.

I did. I thought it was really good. I imagine it'll get plenty of nominations; actress for Lawrence, actor or supporting depending on how they call Hawkes, screenplay for sure. Just feels like Hollywood will find a way to skip it in the main event. Though, I'd like to see it there.

It's not the best picture of the year, but it deserves to be recognized, I think.

Agreed on all counts, except the likelihood of a nomination. Lawrence and Hawkes should definitely be nominated. He's one of my favorite actors.

Yeah, me too.

And both are lights out in this one. In fact, if not for Portman, I'd say Lawrence would be my favorite to win Best Actress.

I nominate Jeremy Renner for Best Supporting Actor in The Town. Crazy like Cagney in Beantown, Jeremy fucking Renner. Awesome.

I haven't actually seen The Town, but I don't have a problem with Renner getting nominated.
