Had not seen that score.

I know it's fading a bit, but I'm guessing Life of Pi gets the 5th spot. It'll still most likely be a Best Picture nominee and the book was widely considered to be very difficult to adapt. I think the writers will appreciate that.

I don't know about The Sessions, I suppose it can get in too, but the film has like no buzz whatsoever. It feels like an afterthought at this point.

If both Like of Pi and Beasts get picture, i think they get in here too. Sessions has no shot for picture, so i doubt it can get in here. Helen Hunt is probably the only sure bet for that film and Hawkes if he tries to fight for it.

[Midnight]

Could something like Cloud Atlas get the last spot? It has a lot of detractors, and I'm assuming most of those dislike the screenplay, but it feels like it has such fierce passion and those people love the screenplay and how they managed to adapt it.

will the academy members even get it? I don't think this type of movie is their cup of tea. Lots of critics bashed it too. Even though i personally liked it.

Speaking of Life of Pi, I have no idea what to make of that film right now.

I guess I'm predicting Picture, Cinematography, and Visual Effects. Maybe Screenplay. Maybe Director? Tapley/Thompson said that Fox didn't send out screeners... they want people to see it in theaters and experience the 3D.

[Donezo]

I wouldn't be surprised for it to miss Screenplay, but I still think Ang Lee is in. It's the opposite case of Les Miz: he gets the credit for the film being good. I think even the haters at least respect his vision.

Add score to that. I'm also conflicted on this film. I don't have it down for that many nominations, but I think it can win 3 of them: Score, Cinematography and Visual Effects.

I don't know, he's kind of in 5th place almost by default, but I can see there being more passion (I know, I know) for someone like PTA or even Tarantino. I'm just not sure people really care all that much about Life of Pi.

Cloud Atlas indeed is a film that could have a lot of passion, but Screenplay would really be the last place for it to happen. I am, however, hoping against hope for Production Design, Makeup and Visual Effects. And Supporting Actress!

I think Perks of Being a Wildflower might actually be a possibility.

I'm thinking Art Direction and score as well. I also think (like everything this year), Sound Mixing and Editing are distinct possibilities. The storm, ocean and animal sounds are quite impressive.

If it were a different director, then I'd agree, but Ang Lee is fairly beloved, no? I don't think he's going to have trouble getting number one votes from the directors branch.

[Mr. Film Awards]

With the prize being awarded to Chris Terrio for 'Argo' at LA, it appears the Adapted Screenplay appears to be turning into a 3-way competition between:

Tony Kushner - Lincoln (Boston, New York)
Chris Terrio - Argo (LA)
David O. Russell (NBR)
