at least.

What the heck is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly? One of the year's best-reviewed films. With a surprise win in the Director category at the Golden Globes, it looks like Julian Schnabel will definitely get nominated in that category. Could Best Picture be in store as well?

Into the Wild was nominated in 2 out of 3 guilds. So was Juno. Does that mean they're both locks? I wish - they were my top two films of the year. While things are definitely looking good for both of them, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them missed the cut.
