Blimey!

But I still would have loved to have seen Ricky Gervais.

No Anvil? No Michael Moore? That's a bit surprising.

I would love for Conan to host. I'm having my fingers crossed for that every year but also ends up feeling disappointed. That said, the choices for this year aren't bad at all.

I adore the cheeky self-reflexivity and thoughtfulness of The Beaches of Agnes, so it has no chance (fingers crossed for a nomination, though). I heard Food Inc. is underwhelming and redundant to anyone who has ever had an afterthought about the harms of corporations handling food. I'm predicting this award will go to The Cove for its heavy-handed moralizing. The most fascinating aspect is the portrait of a megalomaniac, Mr. Ric O'Barry--but, of course, the film canonizes instead of analyzes.
