I don’t like the whole Academy way of thinking. Therefore, it will suck if Inception doesn’t get past editing and music, but I can’t say I’d be very surprised.

Oh, and I think Best Production Design could be a possibility.

And there may not be many “smart” and “complicated” movies at the top of the list (although I certainly use those words to describe “The Dark Knight”), don’t underestimate how hungry audiences are going to be this summer for original content.

I wouldn’t count out costume design and original score either. I think this will end up with about 9 or 10 nominations, though I am hesitant like Tapley to guarantee a spot among the final ten. Also questioning the long-term box office intake as well. People are going to go out and see this the first weekend, but I think it might be too smart of a movie. I’ve said it before, but look over the all-time box office charts and try to tell me the first “smart” or “complicated” movie that comes up….certaintly quite a ways down the list.
