Award Season 2007!

Yay, something meaty we can argue about.

I hate the Oscar poster. It looks like someone with just enough Photoshop skills to get in trouble was let loose on it.

Surprising love for Michael Clayton. Day-Lewis was so over the top in the final act of There Will Be Blood that I'm tempted to give my nod to Clooney in Michael Clayton but everything up to that point was phenomenal so I'll stick with Day-Lewis for now.

Bardem all the way for best Supporting (though I'd say he's really the lead).

I've only seen one of the lead actress performances.

Amy Ryan seems a lock for best supporting actress but I also liked Swinton in Michael Clayton.

Ratatouille is way better than Surf's Up but I haven't seen Persepolis which is reportedly phenomenal.

Haven't seen Diving Bell but among the other four the director nod goes handily to the Coen Brothers.

And No Country again for best picture (haven't seen Atonement yet).

No quick responses on the screenplay nods.
