My first BP nom!! :D

[riczhang]

26 noms in Total, pretty good. And that'd be the all time Oscar per studio record in Real Life, except for that one time Miramax got 31 noms in a year in 2002.

Congrats to Ric, Ueka, Blank, and the Pastafarian for their BP nods.

[4815162342]

Wow, who'd of thought in CAYOM we would have Oscar nominees Thomas Jane and Channing Tatum

[Blankments]

I also like how with Screenplay, there's an animated film for both categories. That'd never happen in RL, despite the quality of the films. Plus, it sets up an interesting race in Animated Feature.

Um.... Pixar?

[Blankments]

In both categories in the same year, I mean. Usually there's just one, and even that's rare. We've got Gulch and Psychonauts.

[The Dark Alfred]

I'm happy for Jane, however I expected him to shine next year, he's going to have a really strong performance, I have Oscar hopes for Killing Floor, I hope it won't affect his chances that he got nominated for The Affair.

Oh, that makes more sense now.

We don't think about such things when it comes to nominating people. We're not like the real-life Academy who are like "Oh Meryl Streep won her 2nd Oscar 8 years ago, it's too soon for her 3rd."

[The Creator]

Oro getting nominated for BP...meh. Also, Past Tense should've gotten in over Dawn.

[The Dark Alfred]

John Williams double nomination. It'll be interesting how it works out for him. I guess coming in at #2 and #3. Then The Affair was a career changing role for Jane. I can see 6 more noms and a win in Y13 lol

Definitely bummed Empty Hearth didn't make it. Spent ages on that film, not sure why though, people seemed to like it less than the reviews said. Oro makes up for it though, not expected and really awesome.

Empty Hearth should've been nominated. And if I had been able to do the BP tiebreaker as well, there still would've been a tie, which kinda irks me that I couldn't do it because I didn't know when the deadline was. Figured it would still be up when I got home from work.

[riczhang]

More disappointed that the Coens didn't get a Director nom. That should've at least happened.

[Ezen Baklattan]

The final ranking for the BP tiebreaker was as follows:Dogs Of Babel - 11Past Tense - 10Empty Hearth - 9On the bright side, you both still have a film nominated for BP and a ton of other awards.

Gerard Butler won an Oscar in CAYOM...nuff said.
