So everyone is pretty much sensing a pattern now. These award shows are so bunched together that it's rare you'll find a stray movie or actor in the pack. The surprise for me was the lack of nomination for Brendan Gleeson and the paltry Original Screenplay nod for The Guard. Generally speaking BAFTA are all over flicks like this, and it's a similar situation with Shame - only Michael Fassbender picks up a nomination there. That said, Drive did quite well, even if Ryan Gosling was inexplicably left off of the shortlist. A directing nomination goes to Nicolas Winding Refn, while Carey Mulligan gets a Supporting Actress nod for that film - and not Shame as you might've guessed. It's also given a shout in the Best Film category. Again, I'm disappointed Warrior hasn't been mentioned at all. At the very least Nick Nolte deserved a Supporting Actor mention. The Help is picking up steam also after some Golden Globes love; while It's good to see a comedy like Bridesmaids given a shout in the Original Screenplay category (my money is still on John Michael McDonagh's script for The Guard). All this might mean nothing when The Artist sweeps the boards, mind.
