Known as the Oscars. I forgot to say what I thought of them in all my haste to start a blog intro. For the first time in my life I think, I have seen all of the best picture noms and they are exactly what I would have chosen. I really can't decide which should/will win though. Any thoughts? I am so glad that Doubt's only viable nom is for Meryl, oh and Amy Adams, since the movie was no good other than the acting. Kinda boring. Kinda uneventful. I guess you could say that about a lot of the movies, except The Dark Knight, but I liked them all. It was a good year for history majors, considering Milk and Frost/Nixon. My U.S. history obsession would probably have forced me to love those movies, even if they weren't great. But they were so score!
I really hope that Heathy wins best supporting again. And not just because he died. I still can't believe he died. But because he was phenom and terrifying and I love him.
Oy, best animated film. I don't really remember the days when the animated films were like Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin, since I was in pre school when they came out. But how can Kung Fu Panda even be in the same category as them? At least Open Season 2 didn't get a nod. Not even Smelliot could save those movies. I'm making a gagging noise inside.
As a whole, I think it was a seriously impressive year for the Oscars. You go guys!
