No Bruce?
Dear Oscar people:
Boo, you whores.
No love,
Me.

Wow, Bruce did indeed get fucked.
Why only three songs?
yes...why only 3 songs? anyone know?

This is two years in a row where the winner of Best Original Song at the Golden Globes hasn't even been nominated in the same category at the Oscars. My boy Ed Vedder won Best Original Song for 'Guaranteed' at the Globes last year (we got jipped out of seeing what would have surely been an interesting speech because of the strike) and got the shaft from Oscar. Now Bruce this year. Strange, and uncool.
The most important part of this years Oscar's:
Hugh Fucking Jackman is hosting.
Hugh Jackman's hosting? Not some comedian like Ellen or John Stewart? Unless he's got some hidden comedy genius I currently know nothing about, I won't be watching
What are the chances of Heath Ledger posthumously beating out his competition for Best Supporting Actor?
i don't get it... then again three 6 mafia does have an oscar for best song, and randy newman once beat paul mccartney, so i don't know why i should expect their nominees to make sense.

I do think Kate W was outstanding in The Reader and I don't think it is only a supporting roll. I'd like to see her win over Streep.
The Holocaust is just backstory in the Reader. It focuses more on post-war guilt of those living in Germany, rather than just the trial like the trailer makes it seem. That kid did a great job, even in speaking English which he had to learn to play the role.
A predictably disappointing nomination list
I saw Doubt last night.
I think I have seen all the nominated films, except 2 or 3 of the foreign language films that have not been released in my area, yet.
There are no real WTFs for me. (except maybe, RDJr - tropic thunder, this is a great actor, who has done great work, this silly film and that role are not memorable.)
This is a subjective process.
Happy to see some Nixon/ Frost in there. Langella deserved the nom.
and the Bradageline noms, they both did great work.
The Changeling was Clint's better film. Torino is a throwaway, pop corn movie.

Rourke does not deserve to win over Penn.
I am happy for Rourke's come back. He took himself out the first time. He admits that and blames no one but himself. He let a lot of us fans down. But, it was his choice and right. Now with this film, this cat gets a 10th life, after burning through his first nine.
If it were more predictable, the French chick would've gotten the nom over Melissa Leo.
Me, too. Much as I love Streep, I thought she was over-the-top. I guess she was supposed to be. In any case, I think it belongs to Kate.
But honestly, I don't care all that much about who wins, ever.
If it were more predictable, the French chick would've gotten the nom over Melissa Leo.
The French chick...? Which?
Am I the only person on earth who felt that the Jolie performance in Changeling has been completely overrated? I didn't mind the film, but her performance was at times quite cringe worthy for me. Sort of going through the motions, ticking all the boxes. Etc.
What PGV said--are you referring to Kristin Scott Thomas? If so, SHAME ON YOU.
Best female perf of the year, easily.
I was actually thinking about The Soloist.Downey isn't memorable in Tropic Thunder? If The Soloist had come out last Fall, he would've gotten a nom for that... they just wanted to award him for something, and he was awesome in TT.

"I want my son, back!!!" didn't resonate with you? Fucking Jolie.
Well to be fair, both Julie Christie AND Marion Cotillard were nominated last year, and were the two frontrunners. Not to mention the fact that ALL FOUR acting winners were from outside the U.S.
