    I'm really starting to think Perks of Being A Wallflower has a shot in Adapted Screenplay, also It's absolutely thrilling to see a group as in love with Take This Waltz as I am.

    I am confused by the "breakthrough performance" category, as a number of these nominees are directors, not actors...

      Guy Lodge It's clearly meant to be Breakthrough Artist or something along those lines. Not that confusing.

    Yes, Avengers for best ensemble. I'm not counting on it, but I hope they'll be this cool at the SAG Awards.

    I just saw Take This Waltz--Michelle Williams is amazing. The screenplay is great, too.

    Sarah Polley is one of the best young artists around. Actor/writer/director... She does them all well (not to mention her avoiding that whole child star thing) Great to see her receive recognition.

    That's an interesting Director lineup: two women, a Spaniard, an actor-turned-director whom we all wrote off only a few years ago, and David O Russell, who made a nice bounce back from his Lily Tomlin scream-fest.

      Matt A hell yeah for The Avengers (IMO the best ensemble so far this year) for ensemble and VERY underrated Cabin in The Woods for screenplay! That's two film critics societies now ( first being San Deigo) to acknowledge the seemingly, incredibly overlooked and great screenplay in Cabin in the Woods.
