FWIW, Nathaniel, short story adaptations ARE eligible (former nominees include Brokeback Mountain and The Illusionist). However, both the original work and the film must be in English to be eligible.<BR/><BR/>3. Affleck is not supporting. End of story. It makes just as much sense to push him for best supporting actress (what, do you think sister Garner would've been that good without his coaching! I jest, love me some Garner, don't kill me fanboys).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-15982414487767850422008-01-04T19:52:00.000-05:002008-01-04T19:52:00.000-05:00Oh, but Michelle Pfeiffer is in the shortlist for ...Oh, but Michelle Pfeiffer is in the shortlist for both <I>Hairspray</I> <B>and</B> <I>Stardust</I>.

They nominate stuff like <I>Zodiac</I> for best picture when the BFCA - critics who in top ten lists seem to think it's a top three movie - wont because it isn't getting near Oscar's best picture lineup.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Scripter awards both the screenplay <B>and the book</B> so you gotta take that into consideration.

I have no problem with Spidey getting dumped (though I at least think it should have been in the Top 7 for this category), but HP5 would have gotten a nod from me, so I'm disappointed there.John Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778817752411507792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-62976862167461673382008-01-04T13:17:00.000-05:002008-01-04T13:17:00.000-05:00The Casey Affleck thing is bugging me almost more ...The Casey Affleck thing is bugging me almost more than the Jamie Foxx thing-at least that year one could make the (ridiculously weak) argument that they wanted to nominate him for both. Here, they have no such excuse (and he may be onscreen even more than Foxx was in Collateral!)<BR/><BR/>As for the Scripters, substitute Away From Her in for Into the Wild, and you've got who I'd be voting for at the Oscars. Also, am I the only one who thought that the script to Into the Wild was perhaps its weakest link? Some great perfs, fine direction, interesting song score, but the script (and particularly those insufferable Evan Rachel Wood monologues) was definitely not its greatest strength.John Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778817752411507792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40069357408776480722008-01-04T12:55:00.000-05:002008-01-04T12:55:00.000-05:00I need to see...like everything.
