Penélope Cruz in Broken Embraces (Emilio Pereda & Paola Ardizzoni / El Deseo / Sony Pictures Classics)
The Spanish Academy's Goya Award nominations, the Writers Guild nominations, and the Vancouver Film Critics' winners are some of the film-award announcements to come in the next few days. Potential Goya nominees include Broken Embraces, Pedro Almodóvar, and Penélope Cruz.
The Toronto Film Critics will also announce their Best Canadian Film winner, while the American Society of Cinematographers will name their nominees. Expect James Cameron's Avatar (Mauro Fiore) to be shortlisted by the ASC, along with Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker (Barry Ackroyd), and quite possibly Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones (Andrew Lesnie) and Rob Marshall's Nine (Dion Beebe) as well.
