So the nominee list has been released today. A couple of comments/hating:
- C’mon, despite all the bad press and mixed reviews, who didn’t think Munich was going to get nominated for best picture? I knew that the first time I saw the trailer.
- Crash? Really? I don’t get the big whoopla about this movie. I saw it. It was okay. But best picture? Really? Naaaah. That’s what happens when you employ that many SAG members in one movie.
- Peter Jackson got screwed out of a best director nod. When you force a studio to make a big financial gambit and it doesn’t pan out. He’ll be lucky if they let him make a one hour and 45 minute film.
- Is this the first time Disney Animation has been shut out of the Best Animated Feature category? That Pixar sale couldn’t come fast enough for them.
- I can’t wait to see them perform “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” at the Oscars and Jon Stewart’s comment right after. Man, imagine if they had nominated “Whoop That Trick”?
- Jon Stewart: Bad choice for a host. and I love Jon Stewart.
- Nominations I’m happy about: Paul Giamatti, William Hurt & Amy Adams for Supporting Roles, Batman Begins for Cinematography.
- Movies/People that should have been nominated: The Constant Gardener for Best Picture, Naomi Watts & Maria Bello for Best Actress
- Movies I need to see before March 5th: Capote, Good Night, And Good Luck, Munich, The Squid & The Whale. After I see those, I can make my Oscar picks.
