The coveted little guy (AP)
Sorry, dear Oscar watchers, but nothing that came out last week will make a dent in the top three categories. The closest to mattering was
Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, mostly because it features a couple of previous nominees (Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney) and a couple of winners (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marisa Tomei). But I just can't see any of those performances knocking off what is already on the list. So, unfortunately, the list remains the same for this week. In another week or two, I will add in the supporting categories and director, which may give us a bit more to talk about. As always, keep in mind that this list only includes movies that have come out in Dallas, and as new movies are released, I'll update the list. With that in mind, on to the list of nominees...
Best Picture
American Gangster
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Eastern Promises
No Country for Old Men
Into the Wild

Tommy Lee Jones (In the Valley of Elah)

Although I have not jumped on the bandwagon yet, there are a number of people saying Amy Adams could be an actress finalist for "Enchanted," which is opening today.

How about Kerri Russell for WAITRESS? I think that is the best female performance I have seen all year.
