It's finally near me at the local art-house theater, saving me a trip into the city so I can finally bestow my eyes to the surely pleasurable experience that Volver is. (Don't worry about me being overenthusiastic--this is how I was before Little Children and I was not disappointed =P.)<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you about Marie-Antoinette and The Notorious Bettie Page. Something tells me that Mol MIGHT score that fifth slot in either category, and that since they considered Volver and The History Boys a Drama, they might do the same for Notorious. If not, Comedy just lost another lock, so it's likely to see both Dunst AND Mol. (Yeah, somehow Marie is still considered comedy :\.) It just keeps getting more intense each year!......*Sigh* Yeah.ePastor Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650421834002422666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1164174421579621122006-11-22T00:47:00.000-05:002006-11-22T00:47:00.000-05:00Whoa, I just read your 2003 globes bit and I thoug...Whoa, I just read your 2003 globes bit and I thought this bit was interesting in the who got snubbed for best actress bit:<BR/><BR/>"<B>Naomi Watts</B> 21 Grams is done.

I'm surprised this is my first comment f...Hey Nate! I'm surprised this is my first comment for you, as I've loved your blog for nearly 2 years now (when I first discovered I wasn't the only loser obsessed with Oscars).<BR/><BR/>I agree with most of these Globes predictions. Not all, though. You're a little misinformed with your category placement for Actresses. Tom O'Neil had official reports, so let me help you out:<BR/><BR/>COMEDY/MUSICAL:<BR/><B>Annette Bening, Running with Scissors</B><BR/>Toni Collette, Little Miss Sunshine<BR/>Cameron Diaz, The Holiday<BR/><B>Kirsten Dunst, Marie-Antoinette</B><BR/>Scarlett Johansson, Scoop<BR/>Ashley Judd, Come Early Morning<BR/>Beyonce Knowles, Dreamgirls<BR/><B>Gretchen Mol, The Notorious Bettie Page<BR/>Catherine O'Hara, For Your Consideration<BR/>Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada</B><BR/>Kate Winslet, The Holiday<BR/>Renee Zellweger, Miss Potter<BR/><BR/>DRAMA:<BR/>Maria Bello, World Trade Center<BR/>Cate Blanchett, The Good German<BR/><B>Penelope Cruz, Volver<BR/>Judi Dench, Notes on a Scandal</B><BR/>Laura Dern, Inland Empire<BR/>Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sherrybaby<BR/>Scarlett Johansson, The Prestige<BR/>Nicole Kidman, Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus<BR/>Sienna Miller, Factory Girl<BR/><B>Helen Mirren, The Queen<BR/>Kate Winslet, Little Children</B><BR/><BR/>Cruz and Volver moved to Drama about a month ago. Oh boy. Cruz could've easily creamed the Comedy/Musical competition, unless Hudson were to join. This is definite though, I can assure you. Cruz is in the Drama race.<BR/><BR/>Dunst probably made a good decision going to the Comedy race.<BR/><BR/>Mol I heard MIGHT be in Drama, but it feels safer to have her in Comedy, so the Globes might put her there, a la Joan Allen. I hope she doesn't get snubbed. She needs to get a campaign ASAP!<BR/><BR/>Judd might be comedy. The movie has its moments, I've heard.<BR/><BR/>I bet you they will move Hudson up to lead. But at least you're smart enough to know that she should stay supporting for the Oscars.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, in bold is whom I have confidence in getting nominated. Bening or Mol or O'Hara could easily lose out to Knowles, but so far, it seems to be all about Hudson and a little about Murphy, haha.<BR/><BR/>And I really don't think Kidman will make it. If they didn't nominate her for The Interpreter last year, which had better reviews than Fur does, I doubt she'll get in this year. The reviews are laborious and her performance is consistently panned. It's a no.<BR/><BR/>Mirren, Winslet, Cruz, Dench...how will she grab that fifth slot? Hello, Blanchett! (Or if German sucks, hello Miller. Or if they hate her, hello Watts, we're sorry for the past.)<BR/><BR/>Something like that.ePastor Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650421834002422666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1163875129350385512006-11-18T13:38:00.000-05:002006-11-18T13:38:00.000-05:00I understand what you are saying Nathaniel.;)I understand what you are saying Nathaniel.;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1163866841350534212006-11-18T11:20:00.000-05:002006-11-18T11:20:00.000-05:00Well, tbh, he was basing that 16 nomination tally ...Well, tbh, he was basing that 16 nomination tally on it getting three best song nominations as well as Beyonce getting a Best Supporting Actress nom, which ain't happening.<BR/><BR/>The last time a single movie got three song nominations was <I>The Lion King</I> 12 years ago.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1163851393554955502006-11-18T07:03:00.000-05:002006-11-18T07:03:00.000-05:00Effie may be the starmaking role but it's not the ...Effie may be the star<I>making</I> role but it's not the star role.

Therefore, they only nominate stars that are press friendly. Sorry, Laura Dern, or Eli Roth,!<BR/><BR/>About the Lynch campaigning I wonder if he's going real for it or he's just messing around.
