In keeping with my previous posts about the Grammy Awards and the Emmys, why not keep this mini tradition going and have a post about the GGs? [Admittedly, I've not seen as many of these movies as I would have liked, so I'm going off of what friends have told me, what I've read online, etc., when I pick winners for things I haven't seen.]
Not unlike my Grammy picks, I'll present the category, my winner prediction, and who I want to see win. And on Sunday, January 16, we'll see how the picks shape up to the winners... So it begins.

And some last notes, gripes, etc.
- Where is Lost? Not on any nomination. Wtf.
- I realize now I need to RedBox some of these movies over break [and yes, I just verbed that noun].
- Yes, I really, really liked Inception.
- Mariska Hargitay wasn't nominated for best actress in a TV series [drama]... I guess you can't win 'em all.
- The nominations for Scott Pilgrim and Repo Men are also not anywhere on these lists.
some good predictions there and i do agree with you on quite a few in terms of who should win.
ReplyDeletejust one point though with the girl with the dragon tattoo, i don't think it's allowed to be nominated in best foreign film because it did not actually come out officially this year but in 2009. (it did get released this year in US, UK and Aus but was already out in 2009 all over Europe). it's disqualified from that but i still think it deserves a best picture nod. and Rapace and Nyqvist are indeed robbed. Let's hope the academy don't act like fools.
Pretty solid guesses...I agree with a lot of them. We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteJMW, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the clarification!
ReplyDeleteShane, that we will. At least I don't have to worry about any Lost spoilers. Haha.
