With all the respect for you, I must change my Academy Awards 2012 nominees predictions. The format I've been using asks for a lot of work from me and the day has only 24 hours and I've only weekends to work on the blog, so I will start posting my predictions with a shorter explanation of my choices. It will start with the Best Supporting Actor category. I'm sorry to change this in the middle of the 3rd round, but not posting anything at all makes me feel worse than posting something less elaborated. Feel free to ask my opinion about each contender.

My Week With Marilyn got its first movie trailer and to be completely honest, it looks better than what I was expecting...

It looks better than what I expected: not only a movie in the line of Se7en but a kind of Se7en meets Zodiac and parties with The Social Network . Looks so interesting and Mara is just magnetic in her trailer scenes. I smell something great! The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will be released at 21st December, 2011 and it stars Daniel Craig , Rooney Mara , Christopher Plummer , Stellan Skarsgård and Robin Wright . Here's the movie trailer: Stephen Daldry 's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close released its first movie trailer and it looks good! The ensemble cast is exciting and the cinematography seems beautiful! Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock elevate this picture and so do the outstanding ensemble cast that includes Max von Sydow or Viola Davis , but the newcomer Thomas Horn just steals the show with his amazing expressivity!
