Argo moves another step forward in the Best Picture race, creeping up on Zero Dark Thirty, although it's highly possible that neither may end up winning the top award come the end of February. And 0D30 doesn't fare too badly, anyway, winning Director and Actress, with Jessica Chastain hot on Jennifer Lawrence's heels. Nominations are here.

  1. Further proof that ARGO can be underestimated.

  2. It's been on a roll lately. Interestingly, it has been dominant in the Adapted Screenplay race, which I thought was done and dusted for Lincoln. Argo has been out-performing Lincoln, and quite comfortably recently too.
