Never thought Kong would make it, and I still don't. Great to see Joan Allen finally receive an award! Maybe her fortunes are reversing at just the right moment. Weisz gets added boost. Jeffrey Wright? Broken Flowers ain't happening I don't think. Great to see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang though! It'd be great if it could get Shane Black that seemingly last open spot in the oscars. Howl's Moving Castle! Hopefully this will help it get seen by more voters.

Las Vegas

Yay! Brokeback, Ang and Heath! Good news for Matt Dillon. all of the four acting winners for LV went on to be nommed at the Oscars last year (and two won). So, Frances may very well be resurging. Kung Fu Hustle? I'm so disappointed now that I've seen that movie. Yay for W&G though!

There were also a few other critics groups that announced but I need to go get ready to go out for dinner with Hanz and Georgie. Sailor's Rest we're going to. Very hoity.
