*Who will make the cut for the final five? Only time and much speculation will tell…..
Atonement leads with most nominations, much like The Queen last year, 3:10 To Yuma has 9 nominations but no Best Picture nomination…but it gets a nice boost. Second round of voting will be held on the 14th of January. Long lists tell us more about who is out rather than in, and the final pics are a great way of predicting the nominees for the Oscars, as stated over at Variety.

James Mcavoy wins it in my eyes. I think he’s one of the best young actors around. He has such an amazing face for conveying feeling, plus he’s gorgeous. And lets not forget incredibly sexy.
