Ryan Kavanaugh awoke early today with the rest of the industry, anticipating if and/or how the Academy would recognize his film The Fighter . But even as the Best Picture nominees were listed, and the Relativity Media CEO’ s production was among them, there was something a tad… off about it all.

Just as The Fighter was a near-lock to earn Oscar nominations today, it’s a near-lock to win at least one or two statuettes during the Feb. 27 ceremony. If you had predicted this eventuality six years ago when Todd Lieberman and his producing partner David Hoberman first undertook the project — a troubled drama amid a development slate that included Beauty Shop and The Shaggy Dog — the producers might have driven you to the hospital themselves. But those crowd-pleasing roots grew into the film The Fighter is today — an awards-season juggernaut for Best Picture rookies Lieberman, Hoberman and star/co-producer Mark Wahlberg.

The Lifetime Network — otherwise known as the guilty pleasure center of your cable package — premiered The Craigslist Killer on Monday, its highly-publicized docudrama about the good-looking Boston medical student convicted of murdering masseuses he found on the Internet. Like any good Lifetime film, Killer included a romance, the poorly-acted betrayal of a pretty blond heroine who could not pick up a clue with a forklift, and the subtext that all men — especially the good-looking ones you don’t suspect — are evil. Ahead, I sift through the discarded Kleenex and chocolate wrappers to uncover nine lessons learned from the film.

The guild awards just keep on coming! Right on the heels of the Producers Guild nominations earlier today , the Writers Guild announced their nominees via press release. Round up the usual suspects: The Social Network , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , 127 Hours , True Grit , Inception and The Town all scored nominations (it looks like Ben Affleck’s film is steamrolling toward the Kodak Theater). So, too, did Please Give and I Love You Phillip Morris , two surprise nominees helped out by the fact that many favorites, including The King’s Speech and Toy Story 3 , were deemed ineligible because of rule violations. Womp womp. Click ahead for the full list.

Well, almost all of them. For those keeping score at home, the only film not nominated by the Producers Guild that’s also on the list of Best Picture candidates over at the Movieline Oscar Index was Winter’s Bone ; the beloved indie failed to make the cut, replaced instead by Ben Affleck’s The Town . Otherwise, status quo: The Social Network , The King’s Speech , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , Inception , Toy Story 3 , 127 Hours and True Grit all received nominations from the PGA, meaning they’re one step closer to fulfilling their predicted Oscar glory.

People who love Charles Portis’ 1967 novel True Grit — and you will know them when you meet them, even if they do not wear an eyepatch and do not forego the modern convenience known as the contraction — love it with a fierceness that shouldn’t be crossed. Joel and Ethan Coen must have known what they were getting themselves into when they set out to adapt it. If they’d failed to capture the tone and flavor of the book, or messed with too many of its roughhewn details, the mark of shame upon them would be too great to bear.

Wondering what other Broadway actors think of the rash of injuries that have occurred during preview performances of Julie Taymor’s seemingly cursed Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark ? “They should put Julie Taymor in jail for assault!” wrote Rent star Adam Pascal on his Facebook page. “I know what its like to fall and get hurt in front of 2,000 people. It’s no fun, but at least it was the one time it happened. I hope whoever was hurt is ok and sues the sh*t out of Julie, Bono, Edge and every other a*shole who invested in that steaming pile of actor crippling sh*t!” Well, then.

Three months down, one to go as Movieline’s redoubtable Oscar Index tracks the cutthroat dynamics, strategies, tea-leaf analyses and total flukes leading up to the 83rd Academy Award nominations. This week’s SAG Award nominations and continued critics prizes led to an blippy array of movements, with most occurring (perhaps obviously) in the increasingly competitive actors categories. Let’s break it down.
