On animated feature: It's a coin toss between "Cars" and "Happy Feet". However, my money would probably lean towards the dancing penguins if I was a gambler.

On Best Picture: "The Departed" will win for Drama. No contest there.

Though my brain contains a rather unusual bout of short term memory loss, I'll do my best to remember to watch the Golden Globes. Personally, I hope Happy Feet wins. *waits for everyone to gasp* :P

Two battles:


Babel vs. The Departed

Babel just HAS to win.


Cars vs. Happy Feet

Cars just HAS to win. (Although I loved HF too)

There is no way that "Babel" will win.

If it doesn't go to "Departed", "The Queen" will win. No contest.

Danny - Aha -- the first gasp! :lol:

Yeah, I loved Cars, but Happy Feet is more in my favor, for some reason. But I wouldn't mind it if Cars grabbed the award. Both films are wonderful. ;)

Babel's much better received in Europe than in America. Many critics called it THE oscar favorite.
And, Golden Globes' journalists aren't only from America.

I remember when you wanted "Monster House" to win, Dan. ;)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but the three BAFTA nominees are Cars, Flushed Away, and Happy Feet. So I pretty much guarentee that Cars and Happy Feet will be nominated but that third slot is wide open.

BAFTA has Flushed Away, because the humor and all is british.
I don't think that Flushed Away will get nominated for the Oscar.

Why shouldn't it be nominated?

I mean, Oscar loves British humor. :D

Danny - Ahh...no wonder. Well, I still say that you should see it. ;)

Wendy's Jane - Yeah. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit won last year, but that doesn't explain why Flushed Away didn't get nominated. At least, I don't think that it got nominated, from what I heard.

But I agree -- it should at least win something. I thought it was funny. Not as good as Happy Feet, but.... ;)
