Hey guys, after months of promising a grand return and updates galore with little to no follow up, i'm finally back and ready to go.
Luckilly since I've been gone I've missed only one major awards group, The National Board of Review who announced they're awards on Thursday.
Slumdog Millionaire and Gran Torino proved to be the big winners, with Slumdog taking best picture, tying for adapted screenplay and grabbing a breakthrough actor award for star and supporting actor contender Dev Patel. Meanwhile Gran Torino not only grabbed a top 10 spot but won for Best Actor Clint Eastwood and original screenplay.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in turn, was awarded Best Director for David Fincher and a tie for best adapted screenplay with Slumdog Millionaire.
Anne Hathaway also automatically became a lock for a nomination at least by winning Best actress, as did Josh Brolin for Milk and Penelope Cruz for her voluptously devilish turn in Woddy Allen's Vicky Crisitina Barcelona.
Judging from past NBR stats, I think it's safe to say that Eastwood, Hathaway, Brolin and Cruz are all locked up for at least a nomination, but with David Fincher winning Best Director his chances at an oscar nomination may disapear as with Tim Burton last year, the winners from 2001 to 2004, and 8 of they're winners from the 1990's.
Then again, what do I know....
