Probably true. I donlt expect anything outside the technical awards and unlike last time I wouldn't be bothered if it wasn;t nominated for the big awards. But The Hobbit up for Best Picture would give me a film to root for for the first time in a decade [:D]
[:D] You weren't rooting for Toy Story 3 and Up when they got best picture noms? Bad Pixar fan! [;)]
The weird thing with this year is that it's still incredibly open. The fact that the actual number of best picture nominations is unknown makes things more difficult to predict. On top of that, usually you have a situation where all the guilds announce their nominations before the Oscar voting deadline closes, and the things that break through there kind of provide a guideline for voters for films to watch in a way. This year, the Oscars hit their deadline before the Baftas announced, before the DGA announced, etc. So a surprise nomination or snub might not have as much of an impact. Basically there's about six films that look fairly certain of a nomination with another four slots that could possibly be filled. The Hobbit might pull an upset, so might Dark Knight. But they're unlikely.

So you're saying that they wouldn't nominate it because they've already won enough instead of whether they actually think it's good enough to nominate? If you'd believe that, why's it so hard to believe they'd give Heath Ledger a pity vote?
What you're saying is they rewarded a performance they thought was undeserving simply because the actor died. Which is just bizarre, because you have people voting for something they didn't care for simply because someone happened to die. Which is vastly different to liking a film, but thinking the series has been rewarded enough and putting something else they also like higher on their ballot as a result. One is about narrowing down the choices between films they like, the other is about voting for something they didn't like.
