    Consider it a Top 11? It's not that complicated.

    Yeah, they love that multi-tasking award. McConaughey should be a shoo-in for Magic Mike, The Paperboy, Bernie and Killer Joe. And ditto for Anne. Poor Sally! She only did one film!! I'm giving Jlawrence the edge over JChastain for the The Hunger Games/SLP duo unless they go with Rachel Weisz for The Deep Blue Sea/Bourne combo, lol.

    I had this thought of De Niro taking this in Supporting...but I was too late to put him in as my alt.

    I hope my gut feeling was wrong...

    From IMDB:
    "The film was given a very limited release in the USA in late 1978, but only on the West Coast. Over two years later it was shown theatrically on the East Coast and proved a big hit with critics going on to win many awards including 2 acting awards from the New York Film Critics. "
    It the LAFCA and was nominated for BAFTA and Globes in the 1978/79 season. It won at NYFFC, NBR, NSFC and Boston in the 1981/82 season so I guess ineligibility or confusion and lack of buzz the time it would've been eligible was some kind of problem? Maybe others know more?

    EDIT: nevermind, Submerge already answered on that one!

    There's something wrong with this signature.
    Can you find that ONE mistake?

    I had this gut feeling for John Goodman for Argo/Flight but then I thought.....they probably don't want to have lunch with him, lol.

    The National Board of Review has informed me their awards announcement will be coming between 12-2 NYC time, that's 9-11 LA time.

    Isn't it too soon to say "luckily"?

    Do they announce all of them at once or spread it out like NY does?

    All at once. And no runners-up, no inside info to be expected.

    I think that was a case of them just not seeing the movie in time - they awarded in late November and TWBB didn't have any reviews out yet. They were like one of only two awards bodies to snub DDL for the film (Going for Clooney instead).

    That's a lot earlier than they have been the last few years, not sure much I believe them...I'd love to be roven wrong though.

    Also, regarding this DeNiro sudden "hunch", NBR is the group that has paid less service to Harvey Weinstein in the last years. Only in 2004 the went with "Finding Neverland", and only because it would be too obvious to go with Eastwood again after 2003's Mystic River victory. Other than that, they've only gone with his contenders when he's had an obvious frontrunner for awards and only in supporting (Bale and Cruz).

    Stevie is a biopic about the English poet Stevie Smith (played by Glenda Jackson), and IMHO it's quite wonderful.

    It's actually a top 9 called "Top Films". When you add the "Best Film" it becomes a Top 10.

    Some critics also really liked De Niro's performance in "Being Flynn".
    So maybe he will get the award for "Being Flynn" and SLP?
    But I don't think that De Niro will get any critic awards.
    He will just have to focus on GG and SAG nods.


    ARE YOU READY, JESSICA?
