So the snubs were because they hadn't seen it yet. Anyway I wouldn't make such a big deal out of these. Globes and Sags are coming up and I'm sure Michael and RR will be in the mix.

Although, based on reviews and industry buzz, I'm starting to think the safe top five for Best Picture are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight, Frost/Nixon, Milk and Slumdog Millionaire. @<a href="#comment-5836" rel="nofollow">JerzeyJon</a>: Awesome that you agree, but to be honest, I can't recall ever really disagreeing with you, except in the blunt terms of Heath Ledger for Supporting Actor. Have we debated in real life and I was just oblivious to it? Probably not. And don't forgot when Into the Wild dominated the Critics Choice nominations and got almost nothing at the Oscar.

We don't agree on much, but this time I think you right. These awards don't mean much, but the Golden Globes and SAG awards are the two biggest motion picture award ceremonies besides the academy awards. Just last year one of these unimportant critics awards didn't even include There will be Blood in their top 10 list, i believe it was the National board of reviews. So we don't really know what films will be nominated of a oscar until it happens. @Garrett:

I doubt that it is still an Oscar contender. Crap, another film list without "Revotlutionary Road". I doubt that it is still an Oscar contender.
