Best Director
PT Anderson - There Will Be Blood
Coen brothers - No Country for Old Men

Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton
Best Supporting Actress
Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There
Romola Garai - Atonement
Vanessa Redgrave - Atonement
Saoirse Ronan - Atonement
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton
(If Atonement can't pick up major nominations here - I mean in general, not necessarily 3x in Supporting Actress - it is indeed officially dead.)
Best Original Screenplay
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Juno
Knocked Up
Michael Clayton
Ratatouille
Best Adapted Screenplay
Atonement
Into the Wild
The Kite Runner
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
And that's that. Again: if Atonement doesn't get major support here, its chances at Best Picture are, indeed, nil. I don't quite see it pulling off getting nominated for Oscar's Best Picture, but it's definitely a non-shocking possibility. If it gets snubbed at the BAFTAs, but nominated at the Oscars, it will be ... bizarre. Then again, Keira Knightley (British) has an Oscar nomination but no BAFTA nomination, and Scarlett Johansson (American) has a BAFTA but not even an Oscar nomination...
