SAG reactions around the Oscarweb
• Anne Thompson says the group went indie and may not predict Academy voting behavior. [Thompson on Hollywood]
• Sasha Stone says "not so much" for "There Will Be Blood," but that doesn't compute since no one expected an ensemble nod and Daniel Day-Lewis remains far and away the Best Actor frontrunner. [Awards Daily]
• Jeffrey Wells says bah, humbug. [Hollywood Elsewhere]
• Ramin Setoodeh calls it the "most confusing year ever." Kind of, but not so much if you just remember the mantra: critics do not vote for Oscars. [The Gold Digger]
• Lou Lumenick considers the nominations "most interesting for what was left out." [New York Post]
• T.L. Stanley says it's "either/or" for awards-giving groups when it comes to "Atonement" and "Into the Wild." Perhaps over-simplifying, but that's how the stats are coming down this season nonetheless. [Gold Rush]
• Nathaniel Rogers responds per category with his usual breed of insightful commentary. [The Film Experience]
