Hey, how about this year, something different: an Oscar for every nominated film!
That oughtta get more bums in seats at the movie theatres! And it will throw a wrench into all the money spending machine that starts up around the voting time… yar har har har …

Don’t forget the Oscar nod to the X-Men’s own Kitty Pryde — Ellen Page (who was great in “X-Men 3″ and in “Juno”).

And Enchanted earns THREE noms for best song. Might we see a return of the great Disney musical?
But no nod for Estaban del Rio, as Sweeney Todd had no original music.
Best For Your Consideration Ad: John Travolta for Hairspray.
also… will the WGA picket the Key Arts Awards?

Yay, Ratatouille!

I like Norbit getting a best make up nom.

I’d have a hard time deciding between Persepolis and Ratatouille. Glad I don’t have a vote.

I’m kinda bummed that Spidey 3 didn’t get nominated for visual effects, costumes, sound editing, cinematography- AT LEAST FOR SOMETHING DAMMIT!!
But I am happy for Persepolis!
Sorry- guess I’m just Sony Pictures biased.

At least PERSEPOLIS didn’t get snubbed twice over. I agree that it should have probably got a nod for the Best Film category.

“Don’t forget the Oscar nod to the X-Men’s own Kitty Pryde — Ellen Page (who was great in “X-Men 3″ and in “Juno”). ”
Wow, I hadn’t thought of that…if she wins, that means that the X-films will have starred 3 actors who had won or would come to win Academy Awards, none of whom are Ian McKellen or Partick Stewart.
Should Page win (not impossible) and should an X-Men 4 movie come to pass (perhaps less likely) with all the same cast (very unlikely), I have images of classically trained actors’ actors McKellen and Stewart looking at Paquin, Page, and Berry with a mixture of amusement and envy…

One nomination for Norbit!
01/22/08 at 5:05 pm
Daniel Day Lewis kicks ass!
01/22/08 at 6:02 pm
Yay for Persepolis!
And for ONCE for best song.
(my other favorite movie of the year).

Just so you know, the partially-animated Enchanted got 3 best song nominations.
01/22/08 at 8:36 pm
… and Cate Blanchet scores a rare double nom for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Next: Indiana Jones!

Three song noms for enchanted and no nod for Le Festin from Ratatouille? Bwuh?
