I'm glad a Once song was nominated. I don't know which one that was, but I liked all the songs ... and didnt' like much else about that movie.
I am appalled that Juno is nominated for Best Picture. A nice enough movie, but hardly in that realm. Sheesh. Although I'm all there with Ellen Page's actress nom.
Well, of the major nominees, I still have some pictures to see. I've not seen American Gangster, but I've no desire to. I would like to catch Persepolis, Away From Her, The Savages, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Into the Wild, and Gone Baby Gone. I'd also like to see Elizabeth II, but hardly doubt that Blanchette's nomation is an odd choice.
Hmmm, I've seen a fair amount of the Oscar nommed films. But it's not fair that I've yet to see that many more. There's too many on ^that list ... so I'm afraid most of them will have to wait for the post-Oscar Netflix queue.
Too bad they pidgeonholed Javier Bardem into Best Supporting Actor, because Casey Affleck was a truly fantastic actor in a supporting role in a crappy film. Maybe he stands out more as the one good thing about that movie (aside from a bit of subtle stunt casting that tickled me personally).
I am appalled that Johnny Depp was nominated for Best Actor. He was a weak sauce Sweeney Todd.
