Atonement got a 4/4, so hoping for Anna Karenina to pull a 4/4 as well.
I know Faraci loved it.
Indeed!
What nods are you thinking of?
Possibility if the American critics keep coming in strong (these aren't in my predictions btw):
Picture (5% of people like LOA)
Adapted Screenplay
Supporting Actor
Still no Director
Editing

I keep wandering if the editing as really as showy as people say it is, it may score a surprise nod there. (Personally I think the Editors Branch generally pick rather underserving nominees). People who have seen the film, your thoughts?
I'm doubtful. They love to put BP frontrunners (The Descendants, WTF) and actiony thrillers (GWTDT and Bourne Ultimatium, both winners) in editing. With films like Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Les Miz, and Silver Linings Playbook all fitting those molds I doubt AK can get in. If any really flashy editited film gets in I think it would be Django.
I'm thinking supporting actor, editing and adapted screenplay. Anne Thompson said Stoppard might get it because he is a respectable personality in Hollywood and Ampas voters might admire the audacity of the approach. Best picture and director is absolutely not happening though unless one of the big buzzed movies disappoints or nominees are expanded. I also noticed that every respected British actor under the sun from Emily Watson to Olivia Williams to Shirley Henderson is in this movie. That shd bode well for getting support from the British. I think the focus on marigold hotel as the movie Brits will push through is misguided. AK is the one to watch.
Law doesn't seem to be in a very good. His reviews have been very good but not as strong as a the current frontrunners who also have more accesible films, save for Hoffman, who is a lock. Law is also a returning nominee, which doesn't help at all. He won't be able to knock out names such as DeNiro, DiCaprio, Jones, Arkin, or Crowe. Adapted Screenplay is also stacked with BP frontrunners. Lincoln, Argo, and SLP are safe and Les Miz, Life of Pi, BOTSW, and The Sessions also stand very good chances. Stoppard may be a well known name in Hollywood, but I doubt they would nominate him on a bame basis and especially for something this daring. Some will embrace it but not too many will. Old people like tradiotinal WAY more than experimental.
having such a huge british cast is a good point. that could point to some support from that british bloc, esp if it does get some good review from the major critics this week
I saw it this evening.
Visually, it's on par with "Bram Stoker's Dracula" in its use of the aesthetic being just as integral to story advancement as plot and character development. I can definitely see this making a big dent in Production and Costume. Knightley could possibly make it in depending on how weak the competition is this year. Marianelli's score, but I thought it paled in comparison to his works on "Atonement" and "Jane Eyre." Cinematography was great in places, overworked in others. Overall, I liked it, but not as much as some of his other films.
I'd rank Wright's films:
1. "Atonement"
3. "Pride & Prejudice"
3. "Hanna"
4. "Anna Karenina"
5. "The Soloist"
I know I'll have to see it again because the audience I saw it with at USC was TERRIBLE in every sense of the word. Older people who loudly talked throughout big moments, groups of girls going "Awwww!" every five seconds even when something romantic wasn't going on.
