Oscar Nominations Oot and Aboot
The Movie Blog has a complete list of the Oscar nominations that were announced this morning. My initial, random thoughts:
- The best supporting actor category is stacked.
- Syriana was screwed, and apparently too smart for the Academy. No nomination for editing or direction?
- Cinderella Man is way overrated. Hollywood loves its period pieces starring afflicted heroes.
- I really hope “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” wins for best original song, and the presenter is, I don’t know, Anthony Hopkins or Judy Dench.
- The hardest category to call? Best adapted screenplay–they’re all such excellent scripts.
