Members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association have to send off our ballots today for this year's nomiantions, which will be announced Tuesday.  I finished mine up earlier in the week, but already I'm kicking myself for forgetting a certain performance in my acting picks.  I wonder how common that is, not only with critics groups, but with the Academy.  Anyway, Marisa Tomei will be announcing the list of nominations on Tuesday.  VH1 will carry the announcement live at 8:30 a.m. e.s.t.

Judging by BFCA scores on the Association's official website, one would expect "The Bourne Ultimatum," "Juno," "Sicko," "No Country for Old Men" and "Ratatouille" to be the five nominees for Best Picture -- but things never work out like that.  I'd bank on one, maybe two of those getting in, but I probably shouldn't prognosticate for a group that includes me in the membership, so I'll leave it at that.

The BFCA tends to be one of the more accurate groups for guessing the eventual Oscar lineup.  They were also the first major precursor to give "The Departed" the win for Best Picture last year.
