I think the runaway winner will be Sideways. It was smart and low brow all at the same time and was well done on all parts. My hope is to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind snag a few. I think it will be harder for me to choose when the Oscar nominations come out because most of my choices will be in the same category. At least in the Oscars Sideways and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will both have a chance to win Best Screenplay in their respective categories.
Sorry, I went Ebert for a moment.
