20 Weeks - That Took A Long Time!!!
I can't believe it took until today for someone to notice that Sean Penn's Into The Wild didn't end up on the Oscar charts last week.
It is NOTHING but an stupid oversight... and frankly, I have no idea how I managed it. My first reaction when I read a commented on this blog to that end was to assume they were missing something. But it was I.
As I have otherwise written, a real believer that the film is not only in the race, but has a significant chance to make it into the Final Five.
My apologies to you and to all at Vantage. The corrected chart is now up.

Deja vous.
(why is anyone doing "first" in here anyway?)

I'm not saying they'll win because the movie's popularity has so much to do with it, but I'd love to see added:
Waitress - for screenplay & Keri Russell's performance
Wind That Shakey the Barley - Picture, Cinematography
Zodiac - Production, costume design
The Namesake - Just to mention it, because it broke my heart, beautiful film.
The 300 - I was not a fan, and it won't win any major categories, but very well could be nominated for effects.

We say first becuase we love you, Dave.

Dave, as a small favor, could you possibly change The Hot Button's cover story from THE LITTLE MERMAID to anything else? Good God but I can't stand seeing that picture any more. Thank you for your consideration.

Carpet, Zodiac for Costume and Production Design, but not Cinematography? I would've thought that would be it's best shot.
On 300, if Sky Captain couldn't do it then I don't see why 300 will do it, especially now that the process isn't 'shiny and new' anymore. But I could be wrong...

It helps that 300 was financially successful and Sky Captain was not.

Looking forward to Beowulf very much - here's a fantastic new pic of Ray Winstone.

I didn't notice either...guess I just figured it'd be in there as, indeed, I think this one is being primed as a major Vantage push and possibly a Best Picture fighter.
I'm just happy to see it is Holbrook that was cast in the role of Ron Franz (a pseudonym for the real character). Pitch-perfect casting for a truly sensational character.

Zodiac was shot digitally and that has yet to fly well with the Academy.
