Far too many Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake nominations, and just wow at putting jonah Hill in there.

Jonah Hill has been nominated for all the precursor awards. I've even heard speculation that he could win. He's probably the second or third biggest lock in the category behind Plummer and Branagh.

I admit I have a lot for Dragon Tattoo, but it's been cleaning up at the Guilds. Other than Mara it's gotten those noms at all of the guild awards.

The Best Picture noms are pretty bad. Don't forget that there's ten nomination spots.
