Guild Nominations
As you may already know the most important precursors in determining what movies have the best chance at an Oscar nomination (and later on at the awards) are the Guilds. The reason is quite simple - while the voters in the guilds are a much larger number than the "elite" few that are also Academy voters, there is definitely some osmosis in the preferences a certain branch shows in their voting.
Either way here are the nominees that the guilds selected as their favorites of 2005:
