If there is a movie this year that has better editing, I'll go skydiving. Kathryn Bigelow would also make an excellent Best Director winner.

Plus, Julia Roberts was playing AGAINST character in a very brave role whereas Sandra Bullock is playing a character very... expected of her. I dont think the character Sandra plays in the Blind Side is really "expected of her" at all. IMO. Sandra right now does seem like the 5th Nod at this point. HOWEVER if she gets the Drama Golden Globe and she very well can, she will basically be a lock. And if she is nominated she is the one nominee who would beat Streep. Mulligan, Mirren, Gabby, Blunt, and anyone else in the running has no chance. Sandra would be the dark horse who would potentially be the person who upsets Streep, even if she is the 5th nominee. I also expect if anyone beats Streep in the SAG it would be Sandra as well. My Predixs are: Hurt Locker wins Best Picture, and Director. George, Streep, Mo'Nique and Waltz will be the big winners on Oscar Night. When has Sandra Bullock ever done something really gritty, something that's REALLY a reach for her? Pretty much never. Ever since her rise to fame she's taken roles that don't allow her to do anything exceptional or set her apart from any other performer. And lol, Sandra has NO CHANCE AT WINNING THE OSCAR. It's Streep or Mulligan, plain and simple. Why would SAG award Bullock over Mulligan when they clearly loved An Education? Why would SAG award Bullock over Streep, whom they adore? Streep has a LEGION of people rooting for her, but Mulligan has the actor's branch of the Academy (you know, the ones who actually vote on the acting categories...) AND the British voting bloc rallying behind An Education. The only time an actress like Sandra Bullock has ever done particularly well in winning awards is when that actress' film is in the running for Best Picture. Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts, the two actresses she keeps getting compared to, had the advantage of being in films that stood good chances of getting Best Picture nominations (and in Roberts' case, hers did). The Blind Side doesn't. Sandra Bullock is the Angelina Jolie of last year's awards. Her chances of being nominated are great but nobody is going to vote for her to win, regardless of her name. Also, to whoever said that they're annoyed with no names winning, who the fuck cares? They're awarding performances, not careers or names. Mulligan, Waltz, and Mo'nique have given the 3 best performances of the year regardless of how famous any of them on (and to call Mo'nique a no-name is pretty retarded). No names also give some of the best speeches, by the way, so it actually becomes a rather exciting night because of it. Considering you have a picture of Mulligan on your profile i dont take your biased opinion into consideration. If you think Mulligan has a shot at a SAG or an Oscar over Sandra you are insane. Streep has the Oscar. The only person who could beat her (if they run a huge campaign) is Sandra.

If you think Mulligan has a shot at a SAG or an Oscar over Sandra you are insane. Streep has the Oscar. The only person who could beat her (if they run a huge campaign) is Sandra. Let's not get delusional here. Mulligan is light years ahead of Bullock in the best actress race. You don't have to be a Mulligan fan to understand that. For one, SAG doesn't vote on "Best Ensemble", they vote for which film they actually liked the best. An Education is named and The Bland Side is not. Therefore, it's safe to assume Carey has the actor's support which ranks her ahead of Bullock in the SAG race. The actors are the largest voting branch in the Academy, yw. And then comes the BAFTAs, which are pretty much flawless when it comes to correlating their Actress wins with the Oscars. British films are always favored. An Education is a British film and Bullock is ineligible to even be nominated at the BAFTAs. The British voting block, which is pretty influential (see Atonement, Cotillard, The Reader) will not be giving their support to Bullock.

Are you fucking kidding me? So I can't like an actress and consider her awards prospects good? Guess what, if Mulligan wasn't my avatar it would probably be Vera Farmiga and yet I'm not boldly declaring her some sort of front runner. It's just the FACTS. Fact: The BAFTAs have had the same Best Actress winner as the Oscars every single year this decade EXCEPT for years in which the film didn't reach British eligibility rules. Who is winning the BAFTA this year? That's right. Carey Mulligan. Fact: No actress has won the Best Actress Oscar without winning a critics award this decade. In fact you have to go as far back as Helen Hunt to find somebody who won no MAJOR critic awards. And even then, Hunt won precursors. Sorry Sandra, looks like the odds are stacked against you.

You wouldn't have an avatar of someone you didn't want to win, obviously. On the flip side, however, I have never heard this Mulligan chick before the last few pages of this thread although I am sufficiently intrigued and I will defniitely be seeing An Education to find out what the fuss is all about. I did the same thing last year with the Happy Go Lucky chick.

That is what I am most looking forward to, aside from Worthington's potential hotness. I wonder if Sherlock Holmes is going to tank. It looks good but where is the buzz...does anyone give a shit that it's coming out? I've seen much more advertising for the slutty Streep movie. Sigourney is a hot sexy g.oddess in Avatar, yes. Best Supporting Actress nom for her, plz. Sherlock will tank after its initial weekend, but it has Jude Law and Rachel McAdams, who are pretty much my top actor and actress in terms of what I want in my bed, and Downey is hawt himself, so maybe it'll hold on for a bit. Brittany Murphy's death devastated me. I hate that Angelina overshadowed her amazing role in Girl, Interrupted. :::sobs:::

She's making all the rounds and making sure people know her name in time for the voting, though.

I saw La Vie En Rose months before she was nominated for Lead Actress and I was hooked on her. I never dreamed she'd be noticed by the academy but when she was nominated I was thrilled...and then when she won--WHOA! I couldn't believe it.

Yeah apparently it was hugely made of fail. I absolutely loved the book and refused to see it based on the horribly negative reviews.

I really hope the commercial was misleading and playing up the "murder mystery" angle, because if that really is all the movie's about, I'm already disappointed.

I'm all for Carey Mulligan in this horse race, but I don't exactly get the point of these two "FACTS." Counterpoint 1: What if this is a year where the ultimate winner's film doesn't meet British eligibility rules? Then Sandra could win, no? Counterpoint 2: There are still precursors left, which Sandra could win. Her chances at the Globes are quite good. Anyway, I haven't seen the Blind Side--I'll admit I'm a little skeptical, but I'll reserve judgment-- but based on what I have seen, Streep is probably the deserved winner with Mulligan (who I prefer) right behind her.
