This is actually interesting. The 3 film critics pick their ideal slate of Oscar nominees in 8 top categories, and there are some unexpected names on the lists. If nothing else, for those people who are bored with a lot of the "best" lists looking alike this year, well here are three lists that don't look all that much alike. About the only thing they agree on is their respect for Letters from Iwo Jima (and Clint Eastwood's direction of that) and Helen Mirren. And there are some things on these lists that really might surprise you - acting nominations for Sacha Baron Cohen (not only for Borat but also for Talladega Nights?), Mia Kirshner (of the L-Word and Exotica fame), Gong Li (not for The Curse of the Golden Flower, but for Miami Vice), writing nods for Nick Cave and Nacho Libre ...
Anyway, if you are interested in such things, they are interesting lists.
