SheikYerbuti Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You can lock up Daniel Day-Lewis for Actor and the Coen Brothers film for picture and most likely director(s). I haven't seen crap this year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You can lock up Daniel Day-Lewis for Actor and the Coen Brothers film for picture and most likely director(s). ...and based on what I've heard about THOSE two movies in particular ( No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood), if you don't like them, you might as well give up on watching movies.

I haven't seen crap this year either. I agree with you there. Although I am rooting for There Will be Blood for best pic, No Country seems to be the front-runner. I liked them both so it's not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked them both so it's not a big deal. I was looking at the odds on one of my sports sites this morning. . .DDL and No Country were something like 1-10 to win. No, not 10-1. 1-10.

SheikYerbuti Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) You must not know how the whole thing works. I could have sworn I heard some voters admit that many of them vote without seeing all the nominated films. . . maybe I'm mistaken. ETA - I'm sticking with the theory that Michael Moore is being blackballed for his past acceptance speaches.
