Here's an interesting stroy from EW.com about Harvey Weinstein's campaign for "The Reader." Although I believe Winslet's win is almost guaranteed, a Best Picture victory would be an upset on the scale of "Crash" or "Chariots of Fire." Personally, I would be very happy to see "The Reader" or "Milk" stump "Slumdog" but I just don't see that happening. Anyway, it's at least something to ponder during this otherwise boring countdown to the Oscars.
WGA and BAFTA announce this weekend. More "Slumdog" victories are predicted (and it's hard to get too frustrated when Boyle, Beaufoy, Patel and company always appear so genuinely thrilled) However, let's hope that Dustin Lance Black earns his WGA for "Milk" and maybe also a surprise or two at the BAFTAs, just to keep things interesting.
