Thanks to CRAPPY station equipment, overall sound is totally audible but rough around the edges.
Welcome everyone to a very special episode of Reeling, where we’ll be breaking down the major categories of the Oscars, which will be held this Sunday. My panel and I will try to predict for you what will happen this weekend, and we’ll also tell you what should happen if we were giving out awards within the categories. This is a LARGE group with several perspectives, but we’re going to do our very best to keep things nice and friendly.
New theatrical releases you can catch in Tuscaloosa: No Country for Old Men will return to the Cobb Hollywood 16. Also starting this weekend: Charlie Bartlett, Vantage Point and Witless Protection. Other Oscar nominated films in Tuscaloosa are There Will Be Blood and Juno. All are playing at the Cobb Hollywood 16. Check your local listings.
Out on DVD this week: Michael Clayton; Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution; Brian De Palma’s Redacted; Rendition; In the Valley of Elah; American Gangster; and a film that has just jumped into my top ten list of 2007 – Margot at the Wedding, the latest directorial effort from Noah Baumbach (who wrote and directed The Squid and the Whale).
Let’s get to it:
1. Best Supporting Actress – Ruby Dee, Cate Blanchett, Saorise Ronan, Amy Ryan, Tilda Swinton. Who’s it going to be?
2. Best Supporting Actor – Javier Bardem, Hal Holbrook, Tom Wilkinson, Casey Affleck, Philip Seymour Hoffman. The winner? Is it automatic?
---Song Break---
3. Best Original Screenplay – Michael Clayton, Juno, Lars and the Real Girl, Ratatouille, The Savages. Will Tony Gilroy steal Diablo Cody’s sure thing?
4. Best Adapted Screenplay – No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Away From Her, Atonement. Tough to call, for me. Wouldn’t rewarding the Coens be just like rewarding Cormac McCarthy?
5. Best Cinematography – Atonement, No Country, There Will Be Blood, Assassination of Jesse James, Diving Bell. Deakins’ votes will split, right?

8. Best Director – Julian Schnabel, Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jason Reitman, Tony Gilroy
9. Best Picture – No Country, Atonement, There Will Be Blood, Juno, Michael Clayton. Will this be a surprise year? I don’t think so, but I don’t understand the automatic wins for No Country this year.
10. Your biggest SNUB of 2007? Pick ONE person or movie in ANY category you think absolutely got the shaft from the Academy this year.
