This is the most exciting year ever for both screenplay cats. Honestly at this point we still have 3-4 strong contenders that could win in each cat.

Javier could, even likely at this point, and Dench isn't quite dead yet. We know the actors went for Javier, and the Brits definitely will as well so that could land him a nom come 10 Jan.

I'm glad the animation race is interesting this year.

ParaNorman is really picking up steam. I'm glad, if Frankenweenie had to lose to anything I'd want it to be that. Shame about the Globe miss.

[PatrickvD]

It's a three way battle between Paranorman, Frankenweenie and Wreck It Ralph now. Either way, a good year for Disney as they'll most likely have all three of their animated features nominated. Last time that happened, sort of, was Treasure Planet, Lilo & Stitch and Spirited Away. Though SA of course was only distributed by them.

[ddddeeee]

Frankenweenie will win the BAFTA I think. The UK have adopted Burton.
