you really think juno might get a best picture nomination? the academy hates comedies when it comes to that category. i think it's far more likely the namesake makes the list than juno. substitute juno with "there will be blood"

Hey Noz, have you forgotten 'Little Miss Sunshine'? I'm not saying Juno will win...

sure, sometimes when the stars align just right, there's a comedy that the academy doesn't hate. but "little miss sunshine" was an exception. "juno" could do it, but it's still unlikely.

actually, I'd say it's more a question of LMS setting the stage for Juno, which, in addition to being a comedy, is an indie, which helps (and a financially successful indie which reeaaallly helps). Also, the producer's guild nod almost makes it a lock.
