Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Gemini Cricket]

Snark-ified reactions to Oscar:

Each year I get more "ho-hum" about the Academy Awards. More and more I go, 'Who the f cares about the Oscars?'

Sandra Bullock nominated for Best Actress. Bleh! Can't stand her. Same exact character each and every movie.

Also surprised about Cloudy not being nominated...

Still do not see what everyone sees in Inglorious Basterds. Cristoph Waltz was great in it, tho.

Nice that Up got a Best Pic nod. Disney must have a lot of pull with the Academy. Oh and look, the Oscars are on ABC... And wasn't Pixar the company Eisner wanted to cut loose? Snark diddy snark snark.

I thought District 9 should have had at least one nom for Sound.

Have you seen The Blind Side? I went simply because I knew it was going to get some nominations but I was very surprised, both by the movie as a whole and her performance in particular. I don't know if she was among the top five of the year but I know she was better than at least one of the other nominees (Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia; not that Streep was bad, just not particularly noteworthy)

Haven't seen Cloudy so can't comment, but The Princess and the Frog simply should not be on that list, at least while Ponyo is not.
