I think I told you about her way back when Dave - She was a flat chested stripper working the lunch shift and she was hilarious.<BR/><BR/>When I finished watching the movie I predicted that she would win for best original screenplay (my friend hated it and walked out of the room). I watched Lars and the Real Girl the next day and I loved that movie - thought about it for days. <BR/><BR/>They were both about love and family, but I think that Juno was probably easier to digest for most.quirkychickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353130475402887985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-16440254016431334402008-02-25T13:01:00.000-08:002008-02-25T13:01:00.000-08:00Juno was a fun movie, only made worthwhile by the ...Juno was a fun movie, only made worthwhile by the oustanding Ellen Page. It's not as good as everybody says it is, but I never felt as if there was a dull moment. The script is odd but enjoyable.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245472084190224186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-71941701122429003052008-02-25T10:59:00.000-08:002008-02-25T10:59:00.000-08:00You called it, friendo.I should be a horse-bettor,...<EM>You called it, friendo.</EM><BR/><BR/>I should be a horse-bettor, SJ.Undercover Black Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704721024820668555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-49186967012146678262008-02-25T10:57:00.000-08:002008-02-25T10:57:00.000-08:00david please explain the hollywood obsession with ...<EM>david please explain the hollywood obsession with "Juno".</EM><BR/><BR/>You know what, Wanda?

Did we striking writers spoil the spirit of the season?<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>I just went through the list to make my picks and I think the reason has less to do with the writers and more to do with the lack of one film everyone's behind. I know I'm split between NCFOM and TWBB, and for the rest, I haven't seen a lot of 'em yet. The film I'm most excited about is RATATOUILLE :-)<BR/>I hope it wins lots of the awards it's up for, thought I doubt it (it will probably get aced out by THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM for the sound editing & such).<BR/><BR/>Lewis may not be a lock if the article I read about Clooney getting lots of buzz is true. It would be a shame if Lewis is ignored for this role.<BR/><BR/>My picks are the same as yours, UBM, except: Cate Blanchette for Best Supporting Actress and Diablo Cody for Best Original Screenplay. They got the Independent Spirit Awards and I wouldn't be surprised to see them get Oscars, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-75923537123555782602008-02-24T16:39:00.000-08:002008-02-24T16:39:00.000-08:00Bardem and Lewis are the two biggest locks of the ...Bardem and Lewis are the two biggest locks of the night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-11784565357951606372008-02-24T13:55:00.000-08:002008-02-24T13:55:00.000-08:00I saw NCFOM again a few days ago, and it is indeed...I saw NCFOM again a few days ago, and it is indeed a masterpiece. The perfect pacing, the visual aspect of the movie, the acting, etc. It is definitely my favorite Coen brothers' movie ever.
