No one is going to beat Bullock. Otherwise I would agree your predictions are indeed cast-iron.
=)
Man I just have this mental block on Bullock winning that award! I know her success this year is all tied up in the politics of Hollywood money-spinning, and she's all endearing and humble on the circuit, but I just can't see it! 99.5% chance I'm going to be proved wrong, but I'm sticking with Meryl
You go for it. That was like me with Kristin last year...I was certain she'd get nominated.
I'm still a bit bitter about it actually.
This year she would have waltzed into the category.
True - by rights they should have held the movie back a year. She'd have a great supporting role in Nowhere Boy to boost it. Timing is everything - just look at Sandy!
Sean Penn: "And the Oscar goes to...[grimace] Sandra Bullock" [throws envelope on ground; storms off stage. Embarrassed, Sandra starts speech; Kanye West rushes in from stage left, disrupts her, gives shout-out to Meryl]
KST could have been a double nominee this year! Fuck time! (As in time is an asshole, not that it's time for sex.)
And I'm not against the idea that Bullock deserves the Oscar. I said it!
Haha, I understood...or Did I?
You know what, I don't hate Sandy: I just hate that movie. So conflicted
