WHAT THIS MEANS
Nothing really surprising here. The only thing that's curious is how Up in the Air received 3 nods for acting and yet did not receive one for ensemble. It could be a chink in the armor for this film but I'm not going that far yet. Also, pencil in The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds as two Best Picture nominees on Oscar night. Their performance with the Screen Actors Guild has all but solidified their chances of scoring big nominations for this year's Academy Awards. Curious to see Diane Kruger nominated for Supporting Actress over Julianne Moore or Marion Cotillard. Perhaps Inglourious Basterds is much stronger than originally thought. I think the nominees in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories are the same nominees you'll see on Oscar night. Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress are still up for grabs. But for right now, consider Up in the Air, The Hurt Locker, and Inglourious Basterds definite nominees for Best Picture come Oscar night.
