Pop Critics: Academy Award Nominations for 2007

    Sorry Mike, Juno will NOT win. In fact, that's the biggest longshot of the category. If I had to choose right now, There Will Be Blood will be the winner. And Daniel Day-Lewis will almost certainly win actor. Javier Bardem is the biggest no-brainer of the bunch this year.

    I've seen 5 of these movies that are on the entire list. They need a new category, "Actual best movie that made some money because everyone agreed it ROCKED"...thats a category I'd like to see.

    I've seen some big upsets Michael, so who knows...I think I WANT it to win more than I THINK it will win.

    But I'll keep this comment of yours in mind in case it does :)

    Go for it. But think about it--the only comedy that has won in the past 20 years (Shakespeare in Love) was so undeserving of the award. The Academy just does not award comedies with Best Picture. Every one of the nominated films except for maybe Michael Clayton is more of a favorite than Juno. Unfortunate, but true.

    True Michael, but there are so many people out there that think Juno was the best thing in 2007 and are hoping it wins...so I'll drink the Kool-aid for a bit.

    That would be the best if Joel McHale did it :)

    Mike, you should know by now that the best movie of the year isn't always best picture. Crash? Chicago? English Patient? You also have to take into consideration the Academy and how they vote--which is definitely not for comedies.

    I know Michael, I'm sure Atonement will win and it will be a tragedy.

    Actually, I don't that one will win, it will be There Will Be Blood if anything.

    Actually, I don't think Atonement will win--I think it will either be There Will Be Blood or No Country for Old Men. But I've been wrong before.
