Chlo Air

Yup, it's that time of year again, folks! Or, rather, the first time, 'cuz that actual first time was so annoying flawed, I've just decided to block it out completely! Whee!

We hit the 15-month deadline Sunday, and even though I still have some things to see, I have decided that whatever I see from now on won't be eligible for the official awards. I've had enough time, and I somehow managed to see 102 of 'em.

Now, I have a good figuring of most of the nominees and most of the winners, but there are some things that are completely up in the air. I need to re-watch a lot of things, in addition to the mini-flood of unseen '07 movies I've idiotically subjected myself to recently in the hopes that I could delude the deadline just a tad longer. Oops.

So, I've decided to give myself about a week, maybe less, before I start rolling out the nominations. No official date though, 'cuz every time I do that, it just ends up being even more pushed back. Of course I'm very sad to bar out some movies I know would be huge if I saw in time, like Control and Persepolis. Every time I see the trailer for the latter, I actually start crying, because a) it's so damn beautiful! and b) I still haven't seen it. Boo, you whore.

Finally, concerning the nominees and winners themselves: don't expect anything. I might just surprise you, even if some things are fairly obvious. Well, probably a lot of things'll be obvious, if you keep up with JMC. Okay, fine -- even if you've never been here before, you know who's gonna win at least Supporting Actress. But please, keep in mind that anything can happen, especially the stupid little things that could add up to a stupid big thing. We'll see.
