Well the nominees are out for the Oscars which televise … eh, sometime later this year I’m sure. Who cares? Its always a boring thing anyway. If I’m off (and I usually am) I will be LIVE blogging the sordid fest yet again. I have a feeling I’m going to make a drinking game out of everytime someone mentions “Avatar” or “James Cameron” - which would be cool since I’m sure I’d fall asleep on the keyboard 30 minutes in.
Anyway, planning later. Nominees now. Here they are:
Best Picture - “Avatar,” “The Blind Side,” “District 9,” “An Education,” “The Hurt Locker,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” “A Serious Man,” “Up,” “Up in the Air.”
Okay - refuse to see, not seen, not seen, not seen, seen (awesome), seen (awesome), seen (depressing), not seen, not seen, not seen (but hear its good).
Who should win - “The Hurt Locker” Who’ll probably win - “Up In The Air” Who better not win - “Avatar”
***
Best Actor - Jeff Bridges, “Crazy Heart”; George Clooney, “Up in the Air”; Colin Firth, “A Single Man”; Morgan Freeman, “Invictus”; Jeremy Renner, “The Hurt Locker.”
Okay - like, like, who?, like, like (no one nominates based on acting ability - you should know this by now)
Who should win - Jeff Bridges, Who’ll probably win - George Clooney (I’m hedging my bets after the ‘The Wrestler’ debacle)
***
Best Actress - Sandra Bullock, “The Blind Side”; Helen Mirren, “The Last Station”; Carey Mulligan, “An Education”; Gabourey Sidibe, “Precious: Based on the Novel `Push’ by Sapphire”; Meryl Streep, “Julie & Julia.”

***
Best Supporting Actor - Matt Damon, “Invictus”; Woody Harrelson, “The Messenger”; Christopher Plummer, “The Last Station”; Stanley Tucci, “The Lovely Bones”; Christoph Waltz, “Inglourious Basterds.”
