Pretty pictures.

Maggie G is starting to look like Kathleen Turner.

How Penelope Cruz gets all this attention I don't know. Was she the best part of Nine?

I am so glad that Avatar did not get a screenplay nom! :lol: So glad!

I wonder who will win. For original, either the Coens or Tarantino, and for adapted, I think it will be Up in the Air. None of the adapted screenplay movies attract me. Perhaps Fletcher should win? :unsure: I don't know.

Funny how they put them on the bottom of the page. <_<

Another horrifying thing is that Horner will probably win for the Avatar soundtrack. <_<

Do you like Pedro Almodóvar?

I haven't seen any of movies since those he made in the '80s. Not because I dislike him, I guess I'm just not interested enough.

That is funny. Because they are very artistic, soapy, melodramatic, kitsch and campy with complex narratives and I believe he would be able to write a full-fledged, bombastic TV soap opera.

I didn't see as many movies this past year as I usually do (having tripped over a log and breaking my right wrist last summer, hence hospital bills to pay for having a steel plate inserted), but overall I'm pleased. I'm especially glad to see The Hurt Locker, An Education, Precious and Up in the Air included in several categories.

I do have to question whether The Blind Side was that good a film. It looked from the commercials like a run-of-the-mill Lifetime movie.

The one good thing about this list is that, on the acting side, there is a lot of emerging talent very likely to win. I mean, amid all the Clooneys and Bullocks and Streeps (seriously, how often can George Clooney get nominated?), we have Gaby Sidibe and Mo'Nique who I think will sweep their respective categories. There is also Christopher Waltz, a complete unknown outside Germany and Austria.

I hope Kathryn Bigelow wins Best Director. Haven't seem The Hurt Locker, I just like her. :lol: And Avatar will win something. Hollywood rewards the films that make it financially. Remember Titanic?

Oh, and I want to see A Single Man so badly.

I'm surprised they didn't manage to nominate Clint Eastwood again.

Kathryn used to direct for Homicide and Oz, didn't she? Oz in particular had a lot of strong directors.
