  1. Are you kidding me Daniel day lewis has another movie? that sucks if Johnny is nominated for best actor which i think he will but he has no chance against the the academy's favourite.

  2. I think yours are crap and that it is Michael Manns turn to win for Public Enemies. I saw the review it should be nominated across the board. including Johnny Depp who is amazing as John Dillinger

  3. It just doesn't seem like an "acting nominations"-type movie to me. I'm sure it will be exciting with a bunch of action, but I won't be sold until I see it.

    I expect to change some of this up in early April, but Public Enemies has been one of the shakier titles IMO. I don't trust it.

  4. You forgot to predict [insert Fox Searchlight indie film title here] for best picture.
