[Oh, Snap!](http://www.wga.org/subpage_newsevents.aspx?id=2683) The WGA didn’t give waivers to the Globes or the Oscars, but they are giving them to the Indpendent Spirit Awards. ---

Some updates: The ASC have listed their Cinematography nominations: _The Assassination of Jesse James_ - Roger Deakins _Atonement_ - Seamus McGarvey _The Diving Bell and the Butterfly_ - Janusz Kaminski _No Country for Old Men_ - Roger Deakins _There Will Be Blood_ - Robert Elswit The DGA announces their nominees tomorrow. And the bake-off finalists for the VFX Oscar have been announced: **The Bourne Ultimatum Evan Almighty The Golden Compass I Am Legend PotC: At World’s End 300 Transformers** The first one is a head-scratcher, and the inclusion of the horrible (and ugly) _300_ is depressing, but the most conspicuous MIA films are _Spidey 3_ and _Potter 4_ (though I would’ve loved to see _Sunshine_ make it this far) ---

And the Make Up branch listed their bake-off finalists for the Oscars: **The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Norbit PotC: At World’s End Sweeney Todd 300 La Vie en Rose** Probably the biggest surprise here is the omission of _Hairspray_. Tim Burton has already had four films nominated in this category (with two wins), so a nod for _Sweeney_ will be an Academy record. Most unusual inclusion is _Diving Bell_, which, despite being the best film on the list, had little makeup to speak of. ---

It’s good to see Roger Deakins get some love. As for the makeup, I would LOVE to see Norbit win just so they could re-release a DVD with “Academy Award Winner” right at the top. That’d be sweet. ---

I’ve updated my [Guild Awards page](http://www.suspended-in-gaffa.com/guilds/2008_guilds.html). Also newly-added are the Visual Effects Society nominations. Several more Critics’ groups have weighed in with their awards since I last posted in this thread, including the Critics Choice Awards. Here’s my [non-Guilds Awards page](http://www.suspended-in-gaffa.com/guilds/AwardsSeason_2007-8.html).

I didn’t see Evan Almighty, but I guess there was a flood in it? That’s probably what they nominated. I liked **Sunshine** too, but I never expected it to be recognized. I suck at predictions, but I’ll predect that **I Am Legend** , **PotC** and **Transformers** will be the Oscar nominations. ---

Producers Guild Nominees announced: **The Diving Bell and the Butterfly** **Juno** **Michael Clayton** **No Country for Old Men** **There Will Be Blood** This means the _Diving Bell, Clayton, No Country_ and _Blood_ have all received nods from the Writers, Directors, and Producers (and for the last 3, also the Actors).

It’s amazing to me that a movie I’m actually passionate about is getting awards attention. That hasn’t happened since Brokeback Mountain (and before that, Fellowship of the Ring/Moulin Rouge). And if not TWBB, the Coen Brothers, favorite filmmakers of mine since Blood Simple. Truly this is an incredible year. And I’m fairly swooning over the inclusion of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly!! When’s the last time a subtitled foreign film was a PGA nominee? Poor Atonement. Wins a Golden Globe one night, gets snubbed by the PGA the next. The Guilds just haven’t been going for it. That bodes ill for an Oscar nomination, but it still might get in. Oscar Locks, IMO: Michael Clayton No Country For Old Men There Will Be Blood Duking it out for the last two spots: Juno, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Into The Wild, Atonement Longshots: Sweeney Todd, American Gangster, Charlie Wilson’s War ---

I’ve already seen all of these multiple times but if they were in a different order I’d do this just because it would be fun. We did the Trilogy Tuesday at AMC and had a fantastic time. My preferred order would be: Juno (if this were first, I’d skip it and sleep in) Atonement Michael Clayton No Country For Old Men There Will Be Blood (I’ve been wanting to do these last two as a double-feature) ---

Since my wife hasn’t seen the Coen or Anderson films, and would be very happy to see [her boyfriend](http://www.marginalrevolution.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/02/george_clooney400.jpg) again, the spacing works out well for us, giving us breathing room for a casual dinner and maybe even a “normal” movie in the _Atonement/Juno_ window (though it will mean getting home a bit late; the nearest theater to us is 45 miles away). I think this way, it also gives us time to talk about each of the two she hasn’t seen without having to dip right back into another film too quickly. ---

**Michael Clayton** is well worth seeing again even beyond the George factor (who’s fantastic and utterly deserves his nomination). I saw it for the 3rd time the other day and it held up beautifully. It’s well-written, well-acted, interesting and exciting. I’ve heard moans and groans (elsewhere) about its Best Picture nomination, but it deserves every nomination it received, including score (although I would have put **The Assassination of Jesse James** there instead). I hope it gets _something_ at the Oscars. I’d hate to see it walk away empty-handed. I’m rooting for Tilda and the screenplay myself. Enjoy the day! ---

I like the film as well and am most interested in revisiting it (especially to check out James Newton Howard’s score, which eluded my attention first time around). I think Supporting Actress is fairly wide open and Tilda could very well sneak it (though to say she’s an underdog would be putting it lightly). It has no chance for Screenplay, though, in the full force of _Juno_. However, Mr. Clooney is not exactly a good luck charm in the Oscar department: He’s been a cast member in 9 Oscar-nominated films (_MC_ is #10) amassing 24 nominations, but only 1 Oscar (the one he won himself). That’s a 4% track record. ---

No Country For Old Men won the Producers Guild award. Next up, the Writers Guild awards. Here’s the remainder upcoming Guild schedule. February 9, 2008 Writers Guild Of America (WGA) February 11, 2008 Visual Effects Society (VES) February 16, 2008 Art Directors Guild (ADG) February 16, 2008 Cinema Audio Society (CAS) February 17, 2008 American Cinema Editors (ACE, The Eddies) February 19, 2008 Costume Designers Guild (CDG) February 23, 2008 Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE, Golden Reels) Also, the BAFTAs are on the 10th.

It’s interesting, but it doesn’t matter to me personally, because Clooney doesn’t set out to make or star in baity Oscar movies. The fact that he’s been part of films that have gotten so many Oscar nominations is to his credit. I don’t see that the lack of wins is a strike against him. You make him sound like Oscar poison. _laugh_ **The Good German** losing score to **Babel** is hardly Clooney’s fault. **Syriana** losing Original Screenplay to **Crash** is hardly Clooney’s fault. **Good Night and Good Luck** being overshadowed by both **Brokeback Mountain** and **Crash** is hardly Clooney’s fault. Voters preferring **Saving Private Ryan** and **Shakespeare In Love** over Terrence Malick’s **The Thin Red Line** is hardly Clooney’s fault. I mean, what a statistic to tar him with (not that that’s what you were trying to do, but some could). ---

Correlation doesn’t mean causation (and it was largely meant to be a joke 😛 ). Of course, he’s going to continue to be Oscar poison until he stops being Oscar poison (if that ever happens). I think his films are great and for my money, I’ll take an _Out of Sight_ or _O Brother_ over a _Crash_ or _Beautiful Mind_ any day. But given that 1 random shot out of 5 nominees would put you at 20%, coming in under 5% is rather abysmal (purely from a statistical point-of-view). Nothing personal against him–heck, I love Susan Sarandon, and she’s batting an equally atrocious 2-for-32 over 14 films. ---

There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men won big honors last night. The **Art Directors Guild (ADG)** gave out their annual awards. They have 3 categories. The winners in each: **Period Film** THERE WILL BE BLOOD Production Designer: Jack Fisk (trivia, he’s married to Sissy Spacek) **Fantasy Film** THE GOLDEN COMPASS Production Designer: Dennis Gassner **Contemporary Film** NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Production Designer: Jess Gonchor That doesn’t help in trying to figure which the Oscar will go to, but it’s sure to be (well, probably) No Country For Old Men. Unless it’s There Will Be Blood. Unless they want to throw Atonement a bone. The Cinema Audio Society (CAS) (the Sound Mixer guys) also had their awards last night. The winner was… NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN which was kindofa surprise. A lot of people thought Kevin O’Connell would win it for Transformers. O’Connell is the Sound Mixer fella who’s been nominated for 20 Oscars and hasn’t won yet. He’s nominated again this year (this is his 20th) in Sound Mixing for Transformers. Useless info unless you’re into Sound, in which case you already know: There are two categories of Sound, Mixing and Editing. The sound mixers’ Guild is the CAS, while the sound editors have their own Guild, the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE, their awards are called the Golden Reels). Those awards won’t be held until the day before the Oscars so they’re fairly useless for Oscar pools except for those running the day of the Oscars. I don’t know how well these Guilds generally match up with Oscars. ArchiveGuy, do you know where to find that info? Btw, don’t ask me the difference between Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. I always get them mixed up. All I know is that they are separate categories at the Oscars and people who win office Oscar pools generally have to guess right on the winners of the “smaller” categories too. (I know, they’re not small to the mixers and editors). Oh yeah, and **BAFTA (the British Film and Television Academy)** handed out their awards too. I have no idea if they’ve aired on TV in the states yet, so just in case… PICTURE Atonement BEST BRITISH FILM This Is England THE CARL FOREMAN AWARD for Special Achievement by a British Director, Writer or Producer in their First Feature Film Matt Greenhalgh (Writer) – Control DIRECTOR Joel Coen and Ethan Coen - No Country For Old Men LEADING ACTRESS Marion Cotillard (Edith Piaf) - La Vie en Rose LEADING ACTOR Daniel Day-Lewis (Daniel Plainview) - There Will Be Blood SUPPORTING ACTRESS Tilda Swinton (Karen Crowder) - Michael Clayton SUPPORTING ACTOR Javier Bardem (Anton Chigurh) - No Country For Old Men ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Juno - Diablo Cody ADAPTED SCREENPLAY The Diving Bell And The Butterfly - Ronald Harwood MAKE UP & HAIR La Vie en Rose – Jan Archibald/Didier Lavergne SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS The Golden Compass Michael Fink/Bill Westenhofer/Ben Morris/Trevor Woods SOUND The Bourne Ultimatum Kirk Francis/Scott Millan/Dave Parker/Karen Baker Landers/Per Hallberg EDITING The Bourne Ultimatum – Christopher Rouse COSTUME DESIGN La Vie en Rose – Marit Allen PRODUCTION DESIGN Atonement – Sarah Greenwood/Katie Spencer CINEMATOGRAPHY No Country For Old Men – Roger Deakins ANIMATED FILM Ratatouille MUSIC La Vie en Rose – Christopher Gunning SHORT ANIMATION (no longlists released) The Pearce Sisters Jo Allen/Luis Cook SHORT FILM (no longlists released) Dog Altogether Diarmid Scrimshaw/Paddy Considine BEST FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (no longlists released) The Lives Of Others THE ORANGE RISING STAR AWARD (voted by the public, no longlists released) Shia LaBeouf [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/awards-season-2007-8/430170.md?page=1)
