Unfortunately, Sharlto Copely was not nominated for Best Actor (also snubbed was Moon's Sam Rockwell). Another bit of personal good news is that I've already seen 6 of the 10 nominated movies. Each year I make a point of it to take in all 5 (now 10) Best Picture nominees. With four left to go in just over a month, it doesn't seem as daunting a task as I thought it would be when the nominee switch was announced. All I know is that Precious will be the last of the nominees I watch. (Still need to see The Blind Side, A Serious Man and An Education). Of the movies I have seen that are nominated, I have to say that The Hurt Locker is the worst of the bunch. I know that's everyone's underdog favorite to steal gold from Avatar, but I just didn't think it did anything revolutionary that HBO's Generation Kill hadn't already done.
For the full official list of this year's nominees, clicky here. I'll post my picks for the winners in a month.

Ah, my favorite time of the year. I still have lots of movies to see. I'm hearing I should skip An Education and I'm not really a cartoon person, so maybe I won't see up. But I've got to get movingon the rest! I am stuck in "very long wait" hell for inglorious bastards, so I think we are just going to get it on demand this weekend. I thought up in the air was good, but maybe a little overrated, and D9 was really well done, but I had a hard time connecting with the characters ( except for the little alien and his dad - I am sort of a sap). Dreading watching Precious, but I am also curious. I'd better get started!!! :-)
