Joe's and/or Drew's Predictions For The 2009 Colleens

Best Picture

Should be a very interesting year for the best picture category this year at the Colleens. With the little information Ive gained from Colleen and Drew I feel i can now make some educated guesses. Personally I feel she will be shocking the dolphin members this year with some surprise best pic pics.

Best Picture
A Single Man
In The Loop
Bright Star
Sin Nombre
The Hurt Locker

Im feeling pretty good about the first three. In the loop and bright star are the locks, im going with a single man after reading and hearing her positive reviews of the film. Sin nombre was another that colleen raved about to me, and the movie also seemed to spur her interests as she told me about the gang which was featured within the movie, so i think with it being a good movie and something in which colleen had been previously interested in and had prior knowledge of, i think it will find a way to get in. And I put the hurt locker in because drew thought it was gettin in, so im guessing its gettin in.

Im looking forward to the best actress category and I feel it will give attention to where attention is due.

Best Actress
Penelope Cruz - Broken Embraces
Katie Jarvis - Fish Tank
Meryl Streep - Julie and Julia
Abbey Cornish - Bright Star
Gabbie - Precious

Id be willing to bet a lot o cash that I get this 1 100 percent correct. And as i was saying before i wouldnt take much offense to this list. And we know for sure Gainsborg want make it, though given representation by myself and drew, colleen does not and did not care for gainsbourg and her performence!

This is a category in which I think Colleen with have some fun, and I think it will be fun to see because it will be a bit different then the mine and drews awards.

Best Actor
Colin Firth - A Single Man
Sam Rockwell - Moon
Keats Impersonator - Bright star
Tom Hardy - Broson
French Guy - A prophet

Drew was thinking sam will get the deserved love, so ill stick with drew on that. Once again i think colleen felt something from a single man, and colin was good in that, so i see him on the list. Oh drew said tom was probably in, so thats why he's up there. And I know colleen liked a prophet and i think so i think to show it some love and to surprise up the french lead with make it. Colleen Loved bright star and i think to really love that movie you would have to love the keats guys performence so say hello to him, right?

Best Director
Kathryn Big's - The Hurt Locker
Jane Campion - Bright Star
Tom Ford - A Single Man
Sin NOmbre Director
Steven Sodebergh

The first two are obviously a lock, and i know she liked the look and feel of a single man so lets put tom in there. again im sticking with the sin nombre theme, and lets say sodebergh as he continues to surprise everyone, no im kidding with that, im actaully having a hard time deciding, uuuummmm, ill guess will find out tonight. cant wait.

Drew's:

Best Picture
Bright Star
In the Loop
The Hurt Locker
Flame & Citron
Moon

The alternate is probably A Prophet. I was thinking it would be F&G and A Prophet then I psyched myself out so I swapped in Moon because I think it has potential to noms at all the awards, we'll see. Sin Nombre could maybe make a late resurgence with a nom as Joe said. Or maybe it will be something else entirely.

Best Director
Kathryn Bigelow - The Hurt Locker
Jane Campion - Bright Star
Ole Christen Madsen - Flame & Citron
Duncan Jones - Moon
Jacques Audiard - A Prophet

I think In the Loop will get left out here leaving the others I was debating for picture noms to get rewarded. The alternate is, I don't know, a surprise like Spike Jonze?????

Best Actor
Tom Hardy - Bronson
Sam Rockwell - Moon
Matt Damon - The Informant!
Tahar Rahim - A Prophet
Thure Lindhardt - Flame & Citron

I'm pretty confident with the first three, Colleen was surprisingly taken with Tom Hardy and Damon and the Rock both gave undeniably great performances as well. The last two slots could go any which way Colleen said she had ten guys in the running. I think she'll probably reward Rahim's understated performance and stand strong with the noble descendents of Ron Howard by nominating Lindhardt. Alternate is Sin Nombre dude.

Best Actress:
Abbie Cornish - Bright Star
Katie Jarvis - Fish Tank
Penelope Cruz - Broken Embraces
Gabby Sidibe - Precious
Meryl Streep - Julie & Julia

Confident about this. I hope Audrey doesn't rear her cute french head here.
