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.

    Darren: what do you mean by “The best actor category is stacked” ?

    I mean there’s little to choose among the five nominees–I thought they were all pretty great:

    George Clooney - SYRIANA
    Matt Dillon - CRASH
    Paul Giamatti - CINDERELLA MAN
    Jake Gyllenhaal - BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
    William Hurt - A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE

    I didn’t care for Matt Dillon as much as the others, but there’s a lot of talent there.

    Do you mean best supporting actor?

    Hey, go see “Mrs. Henderson Presents” if you think Judy Dench couldn’t handle it. ;)
