Quick BFCA Predix
Will the BFCA recognize "Letters from Iwo Jima" as an also-ran, as the guilds have been indicating? Or did the wave of voting come in in time for the group to award Clint Eastwood, like we all know they want to do? "Million Dollar Baby" was kind of left out to dry in 2004, after all. Or will "The Departed" prevail? Or - will "Dreamgirls" finally make good on that "frontrunner" status and take the big win? We'll know shortly.
And I have to say, for some reason I feel like "Little Miss Sunshine" would be the surprise Best Picture winer, if not for the comedy film category being there for the taking.
Also, I have to say - predicting the winners from an awards organization I now find myself a member of makes me feel weird and tingly all over. Here's a quick look for the hell of it:
