Do you see Up as a darkhorse for Best Picture? How to you feel about its chances?

Totally disagree about Julianne Moore. I'm a big fan of hers but thought she totally channeled Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. Over the top!

re: jean's question about the tarantino film getting the sag ensemble award: as a long time guild member and having multiple times been randomly selected as a nominating committee voter, i can assure you that my thespian colleagues are often just as fatuously impressionable and downright starstruck (sandra bullock, fr crissakes!), not to mention dumb as floodlight posts...(i'm always recalling brando's remark that intelligence is not necessarily a helpful trait in an actor...that, in fact, it's an impediment to the best work). while i am a big fan of christoph walz's performance, i'm hoping the academy voters, who often do at least manage to recognize the best in supporting work, will find it in their hearts to acknowledge woody harrelson's brilliant turn in "the messenger".
