The last seven days brought us the Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe nominations, which managed to shake up the awards season a bit. I've now moved Django Unchained's Christoph Waltz from the Best Actor to Best Supporting Actor races in accordance with the change in his campaign. And Nicole Kidman seemed to come out of nowhere with SAG and Globe nods for her supporting performance in The Paperboy. Here's where I think things stand right now.
