I wish more of you movie-loving folks lived near me. There's so many movies I want to see yet!
Here's my to-see list:
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Eastern Promises
Enchanted
Juno
Lars and the Real Girl
Michael Clayton
Sweeney Todd
The Savages
Maybes:
Atonement: I'll probably go but I'm not expecting much, honestly.
Charlie Wilson's War: Eh. Not really interested in this one.
There Will Be Blood: I love Daniel Day Lewis. NOT a Paul Thomas Anderson fan. At all. Hmmm. Plus, the subject matter looks completely unappealing.
Not seeing:
I'm Not There: If it were the biopic of anyone but Bob Dylan, I'd go.
Already seen of award-type films:
3:10 to Yuma, American Gangster, Control Gone Baby Gone, Into the Wild, No Country for Old Men
Who I'm rooting for to be nommed, so far:
3:10 to Yuma: Russell Crowe (Best Actor or Supporting, whichever)
American Gangster: Best Supporting Actress (Ruby Dee)
Control: Sam Riley (Best Actor)
Gone Baby Gone: Ed Harris (Best Supporting Actor)
Into the Wild: Best Film, Best Original Song (any by Eddie Vedder), Best Director, Best Actor (Emile Hirsch), Best Supporting Actress (Catherine Keener), Best Supporting Actor (Hal Halbrook)
And yay, Into the Wild leads National Broadcast Critics nominations. Including a nod for Emile Hirsch! :)

I'm dying for Atonement, just because I like James McAvoy and I read the book.
Enchanted seems adorable.
Eastern Promises was great.
You know I love 3:10 and I loved No Country, but I'm partial to Cormac and I like Javier as well.
I'm not seeing the Dylan movie either.
I'm going to see PS I love you, but probably Atonement first. I haven't seen Into the Wild, I'm just not into it, even with Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder..but I will see it on DVD.
If Sam Riley could get a nomination, it would be GLORIOUS, and show how voters really do pay attention to ALL films and performances. Believe me, if I was there, I'd be at the movies almost every night!!
I think that Sam Riley will likely get overlooked but I love that other actors are singling him out for praise. It was such an amazing film and he was a big reason why.
And, damn, There Will Be Blood was directed by that dorkus-melorkus? I guess I'll cross that off my really short movie list.
Yeah, I am really, really not big on Paul Thomas Anderson. And the trailer didn't exactly make me go, "Well, I have to see THAT." The only draw is DDL, really.
