This award group is pretty nutz (albeit kinda fun), so don't take their nominations too seriously. They probably didn't care for The Blind Side since it's such an 'American' movie and this group are foreign journalists of sorts (as I understand it).

An Education is receiving a lot of buzz right now, so I'm expecting that to feature come Oscar time. I haven't seen it yet though.

I don't necessarily understand what you all mean by weak, no good movies competing? I mean there have been a number of movies getting raves from the critics, including films like The Hurt Locker, Up, Up in the Air, An Education, Bright Star, Precious, etc, not to mention the yet unreleased films with great Oscar pedigree like Invictus, Nine, The Lovely Bones etc. Seems like a typical year to me in that regard.

However, I seriously have no interest in seeing most of those movies. That's so weird to me. Usually there are a dozen of 'buzzed' movies that I'm dying to see, not this year. The only ones are Precious (already saw, blah), The Single Man and maybe Avatar. The rest look SOOOOOO BORING to me. For example Up in the Air and An Education, both getting glowing reviews but I fall asleep during previews, and have no interest in watching either of them. Same applies to The Hurt Locker, Crazy Hearts, Bright Star, etc. I don't know what that's all about.

I prefer the Oscars when it isn't obvious who is going to win, however I'm disappointed by the films that have been out this year, there are not many films which I have watched and thought "That deserves an Oscar".

There is definitely a lot of buzz about An Education - I want to see it but I'm not too sure...

The Hurt Locker won some awards yesterday at the Gotham Awards.

The Independent Spirit Awards' nominations will be revealed today (expect to see Precious!). On Thursday, the NBR Awards will be revealed (they are considered to be one of the most prestigious critic awards during Award Season).

Sandra Bullock is looking like the dark horse to take one of the slots in Best Actress for The Blind Side, it would be her first nomination.

It's been a very weak year indeed. For BP, I myself would only nominate 500 Days of Summer and Inglourious Basterds, and neither of those are quite as good as, say Atonement and No Country For Old Men were in 07. I'd give Tarantino the best director Oscar without hesitation, though.
