"Lincoln" Film Award Nominations & Wins

[Liz Rosenthal]

I may not watch the Oscars. It would pain me too much to see the Lincoln movie get passed over in the major categories.

"The win solidifies "Argo" as an Oscar frontrunner, after the film also claimed key honors from the Screen Actors and Producers guilds last weekend."

From today's New York Times:

"One of his DGA competitors, Steven Spielberg, received a standing ovation and many accolades from the stage during the ceremony. Noting that this has been an 'incredible year' for movies, Mr. Spielberg, still an Oscar hopeful, added ruefully: 'There have been moments when I wish it was a slightly less incredible year for movies.'"
