Tough break for Sony
This poor studio can't catch a break. "Casino Royale," "Running with Scissors" and "Stranger than Fiction," all shut out completely. I think I'm one of the few that predicted the Bond flick would be met with a goose egg. Sad but true. This after they had a massive nomination tally for the critically reviled "Memoirs of a Geisha" last year, missing out on a Best Picture nod at the end of the day.
They can't catch a break. Ever. And Sony Classics...one nod for "The Lives of Others" and nothing but lonely Penelope showing up for "Volver."
Things can't be happy in Culver City this morning.
