4hartthreat 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 I am looking at Michael Clayton possibly popping up in two categories. I think it has a shot at Best Picture and I think Tilda Swinton WILL win Best Supporting Actress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 I've heard rumors that No Country and TWBB are splitting the vote for Best Picture so we may get an upset. I think Michael Clayton is the best choice for a dark horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 okay...I understand they need to keep the show moving at a decent pace, don't want it running long and all, but that playing the music during acceptance speech thing is really getting to be old hat. These people aren't even up there 20 seconds and the music starts in. Give these folks a break, winning an Oscar is the pinnacle of their career, they may never win another one, give them more than 20 seconds to talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need to save time for stuff like clips from Catherine Zeta Jones. They'll push the small guys like that who was actually funny for a change but if Clooney wants 5 minutes, they'll give him 5 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
