I am so glad that Avatar did not get a screenplay nom! :lol: So glad!

I wonder who will win. For original, either the Coens or Tarantino, and for adapted, I think it will be Up in the Air. None of the adapted screenplay movies attract me. Perhaps Fletcher should win? :unsure: I don't know.

Funny how they put them on the bottom of the page. <_<

Another horrifying thing is that Horner will probably win for the Avatar soundtrack. <_<

I didn't see as many movies this past year as I usually do (having tripped over a log and breaking my right wrist last summer, hence hospital bills to pay for having a steel plate inserted), but overall I'm pleased. I'm especially glad to see The Hurt Locker, An Education, Precious and Up in the Air included in several categories.

I do have to question whether The Blind Side was that good a film. It looked from the commercials like a run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie.

The one good thing about this list is that, on the acting side, there is a lot of emerging talent very likely to win. I mean, amid all the Clooneys and Bullocks and Streeps (seriously, how often can George Clooney get nominated?), we have Gaby Sidibe and Mo'Nique who I think will sweep their respective categories. There is also Christopher Waltz, a complete unknown outside Germany and Austria.

I hope Kathryn Bigelow wins Best Director. Haven't seem The Hurt Locker, I just like her. :lol: And Avatar will win something. Hollywood rewards the films that make it financially. Remember Titanic?

Oh, and I want to see A Single Man so badly.

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
    • It's Men's Mental Health Month.

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.
