Oscar Nominations


With the oscar nominations announced this morning, there were plenty of surprises. One that obviously wasn't a surprise was that Heath Ledger received an oscar nomination for his role as the Joker, I am so happy. I was hoping that The Dark Knight would receive a Best Picture nomination, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. However, it did receive a total of eight nominations including the oscar nomination for Heath Ledger. It should win a fair deal of them. The movies that were nominated for Best Picture were Slumdog Millionaire, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, and The Reader. I have not seen any of the best picture nominees, so I can't judge which one I think is better. There have been some pretty good nominations here and there. Wall-E received a total of six nominations, including Best Animated Feature (no surprise). If you want the total list of all the nominations, just follow the link:

We will see what wins when the ceremony is held on February 22. In the meantime, I will continue to inform you what good movies are coming out and what to go see.

It's always sad when I haven't seen any of the best picture nominations. (Would have loved to have seen Dark Knight get a nomination) Will have to check out The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
