LOL - in all seriousness that is a nice group of winners (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for best adapted screenplay? - uh, YES PLEASE!) and I hope that every little bit helps for building buzz for some of the more outside the box people/films (Swinton, Malick, Fassbender, etc.)
Laura Stewart I was SO happy to see Fassy had won!!!

January 2, 2012 at 11:09PM ESTMykill I see what you did there ;^P He deserves recognition just for being fearless and going balls out imho. I just don't think they could not nominate him at this point, but we shall see...

But I do wish Cave of Forgotten Dreams would stop winning all these documentary awards. If Herzog's name weren't attached, no one would give it a second look.

January 3, 2012 at 8:40AM EST Reply to CommentYeah, I have prob only seen 2 docs, as well. Really need to catch up. Tabloid is on the way for me (netflix)
Mykill I liked Tabloid a lot - that was a case of the main story subject just writing itself and how it got from point A to point B will make your head spin (and cause you to laugh hysterically - at least it did for me.)
January 3, 2012 at 10:12AM ESTJJ1 cool, looking forward to it
