Though, that chase scene was pretty awesome.<br /><br />However, considering the level of its box office and critic reviews for a film of that genre (action with actual drama), I've been calling Best Pic for a while now.<br /><br />However, along with Kids and Bone, It's a soft lock for me. All of your +4 still *could* make it in.<br /><br />However, as it stands, I have True Grit and Another Year being left out of the party. That could change once I've seen them and, of course, after they're all released.Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18542922393575693162010-12-09T20:56:01.218-05:002010-12-09T20:56:01.218-05:00Kyle -- it does "seem" that way yes but ...Kyle -- it does "seem" that way yes but my feeling is that the Globes are bound to celebrate it and thus reenergize it in time for Oscar ballots.

It seems very "old" for lack of a better word this year. Nothing wrong with honoring seasoned professionals but the Academy doesn't usually play it like that. It seems unlikely that the category would be entirely 50+ given the academy's preference of younger women.<br /><br />so i guess maybe AMY & HALLE will represent the under 40s... so at least one of the buzzy older women won't make it in.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-26066313410783409802010-12-09T14:49:43.582-05:002010-12-09T14:49:43.582-05:00Look at those 12 films.

The only love Hershey got for that performance in the U.S. was a best actress win from the Chicago Film Critics Association -- no nominations from any other major critic's groups. In hindsight, I'd argue that she turned in one of the top female lead perfomances in the 80s for that film. Too bad it wasn't more widely seen at the time.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012509745473551623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81361009128193153992010-12-09T13:20:59.306-05:002010-12-09T13:20:59.306-05:00OMG, tomorrow can't come soon enough!
