James Mahon: "I would look for Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' to win. I think he took a really great simple old story that was true and turned it into a very modern interpretation."

Yvonne Shifflett: "'The Descendants,' because who doesn't love George Clooney? And the story line is awesome."

Clare Short: "I would say 'Midnight in Paris.' I saw it here at Vinegar Hill Theatre and loved it."

"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" SHOULD win, though its chances are slim. And no, as the critics said, it doesn't focus on the larger implications of 9/11, but it does illustrate the enormous impact on a child, and in doing so is, in my opinion, the most moving, real and bravest depiction of a gifted youngster ever put on screen.
