TFF #36 : The PGA and National Film Critics


The last three days have provided the 10 Producer Guild nominees: Avatar, District Nine, Star Trek, AN EDUCATION, UP IN THE AIR, The Hurt Locker, Invictus, Inglorious Basterds, Precious, and Up...absentees: Nine, Lovely Bones, Crazy Heart, The Last Station, A Single Man, A Serious Man, The Messenger and THE ROAD.


Will these be the 10 Best Pic noms? I doubt it. I have a hard time believing that the Academy will nominate all 3 Sci Fi pictures (Avatar, Trek, Dist. 9)...


Meanwhile the National Society of Film Critics says Best Pic is The Hurt Locker, with Kathryn Bigelow as Best Director, Jeremy Renner/Best Actor, Yolande Moreau won Best Actress for Seraphine (word is the Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges were both close seconds in their respective categories). As expected, Christoph Waltz won Supporting Actor for Basterds and Mo'Nique won supporting Actress for Precious. (the Supporting races may just be over!) The Screenplay commendation went to A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers.


Between the two groups boosts for Hurt Locker, Bigelow, and Renner as well as the Sci Fi threesome of films foe a Best Pic Nom...


We'll have an updated set of combined charts this week.


Happy New Year!
