| Hudson's more of a surprise. Maybe she'll show up in the lead category. Adam Beach took Murphy's spot in Supporting, which I heartily approve. The other four are the same as the Oscars. |

Nope. Djimon Hounsou is the Oscar nominee in our Michael Sheen spot. |

| Probably it would be best to announce the names of thewinning nominees without giving the number of votes each got, since that may influence the final vote. |

| I'm cool with the extra actress on the slate if a plurality of the Blanche nominators are. |

Conversely, if run-off is desired, that's cool with me too.

| Well crapola. I guess I should schedule my vacations around Blanche. I missed the deadline. FWIW, Frances McDormand would have been one of my three. I don't think any of the males were on my list. I definitely would have went for Caine, and Lopez. |

Please correct me if I'm wrong, and today that's a good assumption, but in the past I thought the only names that were mentioned up until voting were those that tied and were going to be in a tie breaker.
And I'm good with six as well. |

This is exactly right. The less information the better. Otherwise the nominations become an advanced poll with the snowballing influence of a frontrunner. |

| Are we ready to nominate Documentary and Score, or does the Supphose boondoggle need resolving first? |

| The nominations are open. I always have trouble voting for Score since I don't usually remember them unless the film's a musical. If I remember, Flags of Our Fathers had music by Eastwoods. |

I have the same problem with REMEMBERING scores - but here are the ones that have impressed me recently:
LITTLE CHILDREN (abstract & atonal)
LETTERS OF IWO JIMA - by Eastwood's son (atonal, memorable and depressing)
THE KING OF SCOTLAND - lots of African music
HOLLYWOODLAND - I liked it enough to buy it
Re: Phillip Glass - I do admire his music tho' it tends to be repetitive and (horrors) his scores make me drift off to sleep!!
PLEASE - anyone else - list your fav. scores! It would really help me in ths category since I tend to forget them.
P.S. I DID like the score for BASIC INSTINCT 2, but I suspect most of it was Jerry Goldsmith's score for the first film. |

| I'll be sitting out on the score nominations. The only ones I noticed were wretched (The Queen), ambient non-original (Babel), or adapted non-original (Dreamgirls). |
