Oscar Nominations!
TheFuriousWombat:
On further viewings and consideration I think that, far from being the best film of the year, Atonement will win best picture with DDL taking best actor, Bardem taking best supporting actor, Linney winning best actress, Blanchett taking supporting actress and the Coens taking best director. No Country will also win the awards for sound (I'm almost certain). I'm thinking it will also win adapted screenplay and I'm pulling for Ratatouille to win best original screenplay since it was absurdly ignored for a best picture nomination (it's far better than Juno and deserves its spot). Editing and cinematography will either be TWBB or NCFOM. Those are my predictions anyway.
Johnny C:
We can only hope for it to be that well-rounded. As for your Best Picture prediction, I would be surprised if the Academy picked a weighty period piece. It'd really break tradition.
TheFuriousWombat:
I think we can effectively rule out There Will be Blood, Juno and Michael Clayton for best picture. The middle of the three has no chance and the first is simply not a Best Picture kind of film. Michael Clayton wasn't on par with TWBB and NCFOM but I guess it may stand a chance. It's a politicalish thriller which the academy does seem to like. To me though, I really think it will be between NCFOM and Atonement and somehow I feel like the latter will take the prize. None of these films feel like typical Best Picture choices really so I would be not at all surprised if it won.
KvP:
Atonement seems like the best choice to spite all the Blood and Old Men fans. Michael Clayton, I wasn't mad at when I saw, but if it wins it'll be another Crash.
Liz:
So I've seen all the Best Picture nominees aside from Michael Clayton, which I was never really interested in seeing. That being said I think Atonement will probably win, judging by past winners, but if I got to choose I would give it to There Will Be Blood. My favorite movie last year was actually Into the Wild, but it got pretty much snubbed, aside from Film Editing and Supporting Actor, the former it may have a chance at.
