Let's see what this means:

-No Country for Old Men is the frontrunner
-Look out for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly in Cinematography, Director and maybe even Picture
-Atonement may not be the contender we thought it would be. That means that this'll be an interesting year.
-My hopefuls Juno and There Will Be Blood are still in the race.
