The fact that Star Trek didn't get a nomination for Best Picture is irritating, although not unexpected. In that case, District 9 all the way.
Interesting that Sandra Bullock is up for both an Oscar and a Razzie.

I'm only irritated that Robert Downey Jr and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs didn't get Oscar nominations (here's hoping for the best at the Annies). Especially Robert, since he won a Golden Globe for Sherlock Holmes. But either way, I'm saying Sherlock Holmes for Best Original Score, even though there's a 1:100 chance that Avatar will get it... ...and every other category it's been nominated for. Oh, and Wallace & Gromit for the win!!

I used to intern for one of the producers of The Hurt Locker. Seeing how well that film is doing now, I guess I should've continued interning for him.... big mistake on my part. But at the time Hurt Locker was barely edited together and had problems with flow etc etc.
Sigh.... I really hope Avatar doesn't do well. I dislike that film with great intensity. |

Never saw 2012, I heard it was bad.
I wish Sherlock Holmes had gotten a few more nominations, I really enjoyed that movie. |

I agree, it would be it's fourth Oscar!
Up is great, but it would be a bit of a pity if Coraline would be ignored.

You know the movie movie I've seen on that list was Transformers. Everything else just didn't interest me. I guess I'm just not that big of a movie viewer.

I'm sure I'd get bricked for saying this, but I think The Princess and The Frog would be more deserving of the Oscar, mainly because it would be great to see traditional animation triumph over its other forms of animation. It would show that old school never says die.

I'm all for traditional animation and everything, but I honestly don't think The Princess and the Frog was Disney's best work. Guess we'll just see how it goes.
