This must be the dumbest thing I've ever heard on Nolanfans.com.

In his defense, which I don't come to often, I don't think he was being serious.

I dug Black Swan, but it was more about Portman's performance than any other aspect of the film. I had some issues with the script, but that seems to be a reoccurring problem I have with Aronofsky's films....and whoever said the film wasn't camp when I raise that concern was mistaken, the film clearly crosses over into camp/black comedy territory a number of times. It reminded me more of a movie like May than it did Repulsion, which seems to be the comparison everyone is making.

+1 one of my big problems was some of the horror cliche's seemed....redundant & felt outta place.

State of the race (as of Dec. 26th):

http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/12/26/ch ... -rankings/

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:
1. 'Inception' – Chicago, Florida, Oklahoma and D.C. said it was the year's best.
2. 'The King's Speech' – San Francisco, St. Louis and critics in the Southeast disagreed.
3. 'The Kids Are All Right' – BFCA/Globe/Chicago nominees 8-0 since 2001.
4. 'Black Swan' – Even with Globe snub, a BFCA/Chicago nominee is 5-0 in that period.
5. 'The Fighter' – Scripts with only BFCA support are a 50/50 proposition. ((BEST PICTURE NOMINEES???))

BEST DIRECTOR:
1. David Fincher ('The Social Network') - Is anyone seriously betting against Fincher at this point?
2. Darren Aronofsky ('Black Swan') - 14 awards behind Fincher. But 3 is good enough for second.
3. Christopher Nolan ('Inception') - Actually ahead of Aronofsky in pure award mentions. 12 wins/nominees to his 10.
4. Tom Hooper ('The King's Speech') - BFCA/Globes/Chicago nominees are 19-2 for Oscar nod. Only Baz Luhrmann (2001) and Peter Jackson (2005) shut out. Top 4 look solid.
5. Danny Boyle ('127 Hours') - Eight wins/nominations to #6's five. That's one ahead of Hooper too.

BEST PICTURE:
1. 'The Social Network' - 65 awards compared to Black Swan's 28 right now.
2. 'Black Swan' - Only two films to beat 'Social' so far. Austin chose this.
3. 'The King's Speech' - BFCA/Globes/Chicago + SAG Ensemble nominees are 18-3 since 1999. That equals your top three.
4. 'Inception' - BFCA/Globes/Chicago minus SAG Ensemble nod is 14-0 since 2005.
5. 'The Fighter' - Despite no Chicago nod, films that get the other three are 11-2 since 2001.

5 nominations from the Online Film Critics Society..they for some reason aren't giving an award for best score this year.

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Original Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Editing

Pretty sure Nolan won Best Director for The Dark Knight from this group. Memento also tied with Mulholland Drive for Best Picture(picking up a win for Adapted Screenplay and nominations for Best Director and Best Actor also) and The Prestige got a screenplay nomination...so they tend to be a little "cooler" than most.
