Hey, how about this year, something different: an Oscar for every nominated film!
That oughtta get more bums in seats at the movie theatres! And it will throw a wrench into all the money spending machine that starts up around the voting time… yar har har har …
Don’t forget the Oscar nod to the X-Men’s own Kitty Pryde — Ellen Page (who was great in “X-Men 3” and in “Juno”).
And Enchanted earns THREE noms for best song. Might we see a return of the great Disney musical?
But no nod for Estaban del Rio, as Sweeney Todd had no original music.
Best For Your Consideration Ad: John Travolta for Hairspray.
also… will the WGA picket the Key Arts Awards?
Yay, Ratatouille!
I like Norbit getting a best make up nom.
I’d have a hard time deciding between Persepolis and Ratatouille. Glad I don’t have a vote.
I’m kinda bummed that Spidey 3 didn’t get nominated for visual effects, costumes, sound editing, cinematography- AT LEAST FOR SOMETHING DAMMIT!!
But I am happy for Persepolis!
Sorry- guess I’m just Sony Pictures biased.

At least PERSEPOLIS didn’t get snubbed twice over. I agree that it should have probably got a nod for the Best Film category.
“Don’t forget the Oscar nod to the X-Men’s own Kitty Pryde — Ellen Page (who was great in “X-Men 3″ and in “Juno”). ”
Wow, I hadn’t thought of that…if she wins, that means that the X-films will have starred 3 actors who had won or would come to win Academy Awards, none of whom are Ian McKellen or Partick Stewart.
Should Page win (not impossible) and should an X-Men 4 movie come to pass (perhaps less likely) with all the same cast (very unlikely), I have images of classically trained actors’ actors McKellen and Stewart looking at Paquin, Page, and Berry with a mixture of amusement and envy…
One nomination for Norbit!
Daniel Day Lewis kicks ass!
Yay for Persepolis!
And for ONCE for best song.
(my other favorite movie of the year).
Just so you know, the partially-animated Enchanted got 3 best song nominations.
… and Cate Blanchet scores a rare double nom for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Next: Indiana Jones!
Three song noms for enchanted and no nod for Le Festin from Ratatouille? Bwuh?
