    I will not be surprised to see John Goodman and Amy Adams take Supporting. They like to award bodies of work.

    How To Survive A Plague deserves huge attention this Oscar season. Kudos on an unlikely but outstanding prize pickup. Truly do think this, in many ways, was the strongest year for documentaries in a long, long time…

    it’s a toss between ‘lincoln’ or ‘les miserables’ or even ‘the master’.one thing will besure anne hathaway-supporting actress.

    Sally Field? Interesting (I haven’t watched Les Misérables, but I think that if someone can take the Oscar away from Anne, this person is Sally).

    You know everyone is freaking out about Field but people forget that the NYFCC is a fickle bunch who more than often support unsung veterans than the hot young buzz feeder. It’s not the first time at all and it won’t be the last. Now what is a surprise is Weiz as best actress…NO ONE SAW IT COMING.

    “unsung veterans” — Sally Field has 2 Oscars for 2 nominations. Yah, it’s been 28 years since her last time out the gate, but it’s not like she’s overdue…

    So so lucky about Rachel! This is just NYFCC, but she definitely needs more recognition for creating such a complex performance in “The Deep Blue Sea”.

    Except for Matthew McConaughey this is kind of boring…

      Bigelow just beat Spielberg to win BD for the second time. Spielberg has yet to win a NYFCC. SHOCKING!

    What I meant by unsung is that she is your typical press-mute veteran actor which the NYFCC loves to reward.

    Looks like a really bad year for Weinsteins! I still have a feeling that Lawrence won’t win the Oscar.

      The award season just started and “The Master” has already had its fair share of awards so I don’t think the Weinsteins are having that bad of a year. With that said, I am finding very hard for Silver Linings Playbook to actually have any impactful meaning on the race. The Globes will support Les Mis, and that’s where SLP should catch steam.

    Believe me, Weinsteins had a buch of possible contenders, but these movies are losing significant buzz during the awards seasons.
    – Lawless – really good movie
    – Silver Linings Playbook – too too over-estimated movie
    – Django Unchained – too late for the award season, I would move this move to the next year,
    – The Master – I loved this movie, again too early opened.

      Django just screened for a select few and word was good. I think it will probably fair better on the West Coast. As for Lawless coming out of Cannes, it died there, there was never enough buzz. The Master peaked too early and their campaign needs to strategize better. They need to score big at the Critics Choice or they’re out. Ditto for SLP. I doubt they will win Globes, and the incredible competition coming from Lincoln, Les Mis and now ZDT really blows this film’s chances to smithereens.
