Cinema Science

I woke up too early. Not really but I thought the Academy Awards were going to be announced at 7 a.m. local time only to have my alarm going off at 6:50 and Gordon Kieth telling me they would be announced live at 7:38. I had a dream last night that Daniel Day-Lewis was left was not nominated and that some film called The Heritage was a surprise multi-nominee. I don't think that will happen (especially since the second film doesn't even exist) and I don't have enough time to get in the shower before the show starts so I thought I would come up with one last group of predictions. This is sort of a no guts/no glory list (borrowed from Awards Daily), predictions that I don't really think will happen but that I have the slightest worry or idea about.

Atonement leads all films with the most nominations, including best actor, actress, supporting actress, and picture.

There Will Be Blood not nominated for best picture.

Kelly Macdonald nominated for best supporting actress for No Country for Old Men.
