May I say, I am getting a bit pissed at Fox Searchlight. What happened with The Wrestler? You bought it in Toronto, fresh off the Best Picture win at the Venice Film Festival. The buzz was booming! Here it is December, and it hasn't even opened. Few people have seen it. How can people be talking about a film if they haven't seen it? The will of the people man! Not just the critics and the elite few. Damn!
Anyhoo....Good for Sally Hawkins. A second Best Actress pic from top critics means...that Oscar nom is looking better and better. Also, Milk has been my top pick since the trailer released, so Yay, happy for it.

Also, Penelope Cruz is looking like she will be the next Woody Allen directed Best Supporting Actress winner. This will be his fifth. Count on it.
