![]() on Dec 19 2007 11:51 AM At least someone finally gave props to "The King Of Kong". That was a good movie, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't win or get nominated for any major awards. The judges would just see it as a movie about Donkey Kong. That's the good thing about critic awards; small films have as good a chance to win. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 19 2007 02:27 PM Funny how San Diego gave Picture to No Country, but Screenplay to TWBB. And in Austin, they gave TWBB Picture and No Country Screenplay. I think the Oscar race is officially down to two contenders. (Reply to this) |
![]() on Dec 19 2007 02:56 PM I said it from the beginning: There were a ton of great movies this year, but in the end, the biggest competition will be between the juggernauts There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men. That's not to say no other movie is going to win no other award, but these two will be the names that will be remembered this year, I'm betting. And awesome, King of Kong was mentioned.

![]() on Dec 28 2007 06:25 PM seems no country for old man has the greatest chance to win oscar,till now it has won almost all the best film awards,for its excellent quality.but i prefer george clooney to win the best actor,though too many great competitors (Reply to this) |
