I like half of these, especially the Stop Loss love. That has incredible potential, imo. I'm also glad to see SOMEONE ELSE besides myself is not cumming to extremes over Lions for Lambs.

However, I have some dissention towards the acting categories, merely on statistical reasons. There are farrrrr too many previous winners. That is just logically impossible =P.

Oh yeah, Joaquin Phoenix is the absolute lead in Reservation Road. Mark Ruffalo and the women are supporting.

Oh, and go There Will Be Blood. That's all for now =).
