We know Blanchett had five votes for supporting. If she had more than that as lead, we should put her there.

She had six for Notes on a Scandal or unspecified, plus a seventh for The Good German.

This question has probably been asked before - but do we have to limit our actor nom. to just ONE film? For example - can Leo be nominated his 2 films this year; Edward Norton for his 2 films this year??

You have to nominate them twice, once for each film.


This is an exchange I had early in the Blanche nominating process. I think it's important that we adhere to this rule, especially in the Blanchett controversy. Otherwise it is really not fair to the other actors/actresses who appeared in fewer movies in 2006.

BEST DIRECTOR

Guillermo Del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth
Mel Gibson, Apocalypto
Paul Greengrass, United 93

For my first two nominations, I went for director's who either dug deep or stretched out a limb to realise their vision, and succeeded. I'm sorry, but Scorcese doesn't come close in that respect. As for Paul Greengrass, there were so many potential pitfalls in bringing the story of Flight 93 to film that he deserves enormous credit for pulling it off. He knew what had to be done and made it happen. Compare and contrast with Oliver Stone's, crass and bombastic thingie...I can't even even bothered to remember the title.

I almost went for Cuaron instead of one of the others, but what to when you've only got three precious nominations to use.

Jeremy's nominations for Best Film

Pan's Labyrinth
Apocalypto
Children Of Men


Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, Stranger Than Fiction, Volver...I could go on...a good year for film...and am I being premature in wandering, "Whither Hollywood...that's whither not wither...jeez!"

I also notice that at all the above films had concern for children at their heart...interesting...or maybe not...shut up Jeremy...leave the rhetorical postulation to Inla.

In re Cate:

If my math is correct, I believe that we have five Best Supporting Actress nominees if she is taken out of that category, and five Best Actresses if she is left in that one. Seems like a sign from on high to me!

Best Director:

Scorsese
Gibson
Eastwood (Letters)

Best Movie:

The Departed
Letters from Iwo Jima
Borat. And why the Hell not, I ask you?

CHILDREN OF MEN was released on dvd in the U.K. 2 weeks ago. I've had it in my store for that long.
