I probably wouldn't pass this along if it wasn't such a slow morning, but there's a commenter over at In Contention -- goes by the handle "Aguirre" -- who seems to have this insight or that regarding Wednesday's National Board of Review announcement.  Could just be some dude, of course, but I'll give the space to Aguirre.  Here's what he has to say:

"Ellen Page will win the award for breakthrough...I know for certain that Page's only competition is Amy Adams...

"For reasons unbeknownst to me, the NBR is considering 'Persepolis' only in the animated category at the moment...a clerical error that I don't believe they'll address by the time they vote...

"The Phil Donahue doc[umentary] and 'No End in Sight' are the only docs that have a chance with them...

"Marian Cotilliard [sic] will win...

"'The Kite Runner' will win best picture...the members formed more of a consensus on [that film] and the acting in 'Jesse James' than anything else all year...

"Sorry for all the input, but it's not often i can write about these senseless year-end shenanigans with any confidence."

Indeed, that's a lot of input.  Take it with a grain of salt for now, but we'll know in two days if Aguirre was on the money or not.
