Today's Roundup

A Gold Derby Best Picture chart posted today showed that Up In The Air stll leads, but also that The Hurt Locker has now overtaken Precious for the #2 position. The contributors oin this chart (which doesn't represent the whole team) are Rope of Silicon's Brad Brevet , Coming Soon's Edward Douglas, And The Winner Is columnist Scott Feinberg, WEN Network's Kevin Lewin, The Wrap's Steve Pond and myself.

Gold Derby papa-bear Tom O'Neil says "there's no love for It's Complicated or District 9, but Julie & Julia, A Single Man and The Station Agent" -- O'Neil-speak for The Last Station -- "have been cited after being snubbed in the previous rundown."

You gave Blind Side your third place vote?

Yeah, I'm confused. I thought Jeff was voting with his heart, and he excludes A Serious Man but gives the 7 spot to Inglourious Basterds?!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed IT'S COMPLICATED. Alec Baldwin is fucking hilarious & iIt has a scene involving Steve Martin, weed & dancing that's worth the price of admission alone.

I'm being a realist this time. Next week I'll go back to voting with my heart.

Wells is the only one seeing The Blind Side for what it is - EXACTLY the type of film that caused 10 nominees. It's a damn near lock for a nod.

I can't wait to see DZ spin this into "most critics still don't think Inglorious Basterds will get nominated, and Jeff is only kidding when he says he thinks it will."

Gordon: Those aren't most critics, and the odds are still low.

If you really believe that, I re-submit the idea that you enter a wager and your side is that you quit posting all those random links. I know you won't do it, because you have no faith in your own predictions, as they're always wrong, especially in the case of the blind hatred of a movie you haven't seen.

Wells to Gordon27: I can't make myself become the pure predictions horse on a consistent week-in-and-week-out basis. Others can do that (and in fact seem to want to be able to do that) but not me.

This is because I can't turn off what I feel about certain films or performances being super-deserving or super-undeserving. If that makes me a bad predictions horse, fine. In fact, that's something to be fairly proud of. Whoo-hoo! I can, however, stomach being a pure-predictions horse from time to time.

How do you know I haven't seen The Blind Side? Because I haven't reviewed it or posted a little riff on Sandra Bullock's performance? I saw Brothers a while back and I haven't reviewed that yet. Or written about Tobey Maguire's total-blitzkreig-madman performance. Although I will this morning.

Hahahaha, The Blind Side. As I told you Jeff, it's K-Mart filmmaking.
