Well, that's just it. The Globes aren't always the best predictor b/c LIT won best comedy/musical while LOTR won best drama. At least that's how I think it went.

And, here's some more news from the Screener Ban front courtesy of IMDb...

Academy Expels Member Following Screener Uploads

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has expelled actor Carmine Caridi, who admitted sending screeners of Oscar-nominated films to a friend, who in turn posted them on the Internet. The screeners included The Last Samurai, Something's Gotta Give, and Mystic River. Following the decision by the Academy's board of governors, Academy President Frank Pierson remarked: "We had hoped that this situation would not arise." He noted that the academy had agreed to a demand by the MPAA to require members not to allow the screeners out of their possession on pain of expulsion. Pierson said that the academy must now "live up to our part of the bargain and to enforce our commitment to safeguard the video tapes sent to us."
