THOUGHTS!  I do wonder if these genre acting categories will create strategic voting.  For instance, maybe people won't vote for Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress because they voted for her as Best Actress in a Comedy.  Then again, she could also be a three-time winner.  Happy to see they added a Sci-Fi/Horror category.  I'm also thinking Django Unchained was screened too late to get it in more than 2 categories.  That film's supporting actor race is such a clusterfuck.  Ann Dowd shows up again!  And Perks of Being a Wallflower is starting to show it has some major support for it.  Will it go even further? 

I kinda think the lineup for Best Actress in an Action Movie is better than Best Actress.  Naomi Watts should be happy.  She won't be babysitting Nicole's kids that night. 

CABIN IN THE WOODS!!!! 

SAG predix later tonight!
