      My predix were so off!

      The only award I predicted correctly was del Toro for actor

      *retreats in shame*

      You never know with Cannes……..it is so cultural, plus the jury is from all over. Nice to see some spread of wealth!

      So now Del Toro is officially a serious contender for the Oscar. I wonder what his real possibilites are, I mean is the two-academy-award winner such an exclusive club?

    4. sonnymoscoso May 25th, 2008 at 2:17 pm 4

      SASHA: YOU SHOULD ADD BENICIO TO YOUR LIST….

    5. Luis May 25th, 2008 at 2:23 pm 5

      I agree …

    6. SaltireFlower May 25th, 2008 at 2:27 pm 6

      Benicio can do no wrong in my opinion.

    7. Princess of Peace May 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pm 7

      I am sure that Benicio is great in Che. But the film has no distributor and will be tough sell. I think it should be presented uncut as a two part mini series. If the film gets theatrical distribution then I think he will probably get an Oscar nomination (not sure about the film though) but not win. There are too many fine actors out there this year who never won (or have never even been nominated).

    8. Sasha Stone May 26th, 2008 at 9:47 am 8

      Yeah, we don’t know how Che is going to when it is released, if it released, here. But I guess actor seems like a pretty sure bet at this point.

      I wouldn’t jump the gun here….only three times since 1946 (when they first awarded the prize) have the men gone on to win the oscar….not many more went on to receive a nomination….Cannes awards are generally out there when it comes to their selections….I highly doubt you will see Del Toro on the list come oscar nom times.

      But it’s not only the Cannes Prize. He’s a previous winner and it’s also the biopic thing in a Steven Soderbergh’s film.

      My doubts are about the way the movie will be released or that the Che Guevara figure isn’t exactly Ray Charles or Edith Piaf. But those are only referring to actually win the award. I think a nomination is guaranteed unless the release doesn’t fit AMPAS rules.

      The more I think about it, the more I think that being a previous winner in the supporting category should do him no harm, quite the opposite, they might want to reward him as a lead if they see him as more than a supporting actor. Just maybe his previous win is not that far.

      (I’ m finally getting into this “Cassandra predictions” thing and it’s beginning to scare me how the hell I’m capable of saying things such as “guaranteed” ;) )

      and Sandra Corveloni?
      she has good chances, the academy now is giving more value for foreign performance..

    12. Alison Flynn May 26th, 2008 at 7:54 pm 12

      So happy for Benicio!

      And as Rafael points out, it’s great to see Sandra Corveloni rewarded. With Marion’s Oscar win and now this, perhaps they’re paying more attention to foreign performances.

      Del Toro is always great, i think the guy has chances to got the oscar. Hey, this is a interesting video of Saramago after watch Blindness.

      That´s a few strange seen what the critics are saying about the movie, if Saramago says that, who can say anything more “right” than him ?…

      “The first time I saw The Hurt Locker, I had forgotten who the director was. As the film unfolded I kept saying to myself, “Wow, whoever directed this really has a unique intellect and highly focused directorial vision.” I knew that this film was different, that it had a depth not usually seen in a film set during wartime — but I didn’t know exactly how or why I was experiencing this reaction. When the end credits rolled, my “aha!” moment arrived. “So it’s a woman!” I thought, “It all makes sense to me now.”

      Yet, I believe that Bigelow won the DGA — and quite possibly will win the Oscar — not because she’s female but because she did excellent work. Some voters may choose her to make some kind of political or feminist statement, but Bigelow’s name wouldn’t be on that ballot unless she deserved to be there.

      Some claim that the dearth of awards recognition for female directors is because there are so few good female directors. To me, a statement like that ignores the fact that bias has prevented more women from getting good material to direct.”
