I might watch it if someone throws several nests of very angry wasps into the audience and backstage but until then i'll give it a miss.

Well the important thing is that Transformers didn't win for effects. I realize the effects were amazing but...well... Michael Bay!



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

And Sweeny Todd picks up set decoration/art design.

And I have no complaints at all about that one!

Diving Bell and the Butterfly is the correct answer, but that's too hoity toity even for the hoity toity oscars.

The Oscars treads a careful line between "we have artistic integrity" and "we need people to watch our telecast because that's where all our money comes from and the reason we matter."  They always tend to pick solid films that are good, but aren't so esoteric that a huge portion of the audience wouldn't have even heard of the films being nominated. 

This year, There Will Be Blood and No Country really did deserve to be nominated, though. The odd ducks are Juno and particularly Atonement -- it just screams "this is a pretty good but not great film. We included it so that more people would watch."

Ok... I don't know if anyone else cares. To be honest I barely do. But I'm watching it and I'm typing here so why not combine them. No Country for Old men- Best supporting actor goes to that guy who played the crazy person.

That's what I said Bod. If you don't ad anything useful it's just spamming. :)
