Not much in the way of surprises here--
The Hurt Locker is golden at the moment after it's amazing weekend (LA, Boston, AFI citation), as is Bigelow. My questions marks on terms of the Academy right now are
Inglourious Basterds which so far has strong critical support, but still feels like it might not go all the way to the Oscar, because of subject matter (revisionist history\crossed genres) and divisiveness of Tarantino in general (after all both
Kill Bills got a combined total of zero nominations, besides critical success and glorious box office. Another question mark is
A Serious Man, which seems like a total Oscar-
y film that's been somewhat absent from big prizes so far. That and is the momentum for
Precious fading-- the critics thus far have been kind to Mo"Nique, but not the film as a whole strangley. Also is Christian McKay a potential nominee-- I kind of think if he scores a Golden Globe nod, he's in, even if
Me & Orson Welles doesn't go anywhere critically or commercially-- he's playing Orson Welles for god's sake!
