Things that will probably happen that will make me very, very happy:
- Black Swan gets nominated for lots of things, including Cinematography and Directing (but not necessarily for Buster's dream girl)
- The Fighter gets nominated for lots of things, including Editing and Directing and Costume Design (and maybe even Marky Mark?!)
- True Grit gets nominated for lots of things, including Cinematography (give this man an Oscar already!)
- Never Let Me Go gets nominated for best Score
- Blue Valentine pulls nominations for both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams
- Dianne Wiest, Jacki Weaver, Miranda Richardson, or Barbara Hershey get nominated for Best Supporting Actress (I like my older ladies)
- I Am Love gets nominated for Cinematography
- Tilda Swinton gets nominated for I Am Love
- Carey Mulligan gets nominated for Never Let Me Go
- Never Let Me Go gets nominated for anything else (particularly Best Original Song)
- Any of the ladies from Please Give get nominated
- Winter's Bone gets nominated for Art Direction or Costume Design.
- Juliette Lewis gets nominated for knocking the little pink balls on the back of my socks off in Conviction. Have you seen this, people?
- Three of my all-time favorite actors (of all time!) are up this year, and they aren't even in my own list! Sorry Robert Duvall, Jeff Bridges, and Sam Rockwell. Don't call me biased. I won't mind if they're in, though, obvs.
- Two of my all-time favorite actresses are probably getting nominated this year but aren't even in my own list. Sorry to you too, Annette and Julianne. But let's be honest, this movie was no The Grifters or Safe.
- A lot of these actors I did pick are rilly young.
