    All I know is that
    No Country for Old Men (looks awesome)
    Juno (was awesome)
    Across the Universe (is NOMINATED which makes me happpy cause everyone said it wasn't mainstream enough...and I was like that doesn't really matter)
    I want to see There Will be Blood though. It's got a ton of nominations too.

    Anyone wanna go see it this weekend with me? It's playing at the local arts centre...
    I'll pay..
    COME ON GUYS!!!

    Def. Kate B on Queen Elizabeth...Eff she's a good actor!

    I'm gonna be a patriot about this year's awards, so I'm hoping for the Polish movie Katyń to win in Best Foreign Language Film, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly in Best Cinematography. :sunglasses:

    I can say that this years Oscars was a bit of an upset.
    Across the Universe should of definatly gotten best costume. I mean C'mon!!!!

    And Across the Universe should of gotten ALOT more then it did.

    Okay so despite Across the Universe getting one nomination...the Oscars weren't that bad.

    I knew Daniel Day Lewis would Milkshake his way into best actor though. Haha!

    But No Country for Old Men won best picture. And I guess so 3 Oscars overall, 2 won tongiht. Haha Awesome!

    I read that one of the actor's in this went to live with the real life couple for six months to get a feel of what they were going through. Her husband agreed to take care of the kids during this time.

    Phil..... I watched Across the Universe yesterday. I have to say although the music was good, I felt like I was on a LSD trip throughout most of the movie. There were parts of it where I was just totally confused. :grin:

    I was really happy that Marion Cotillard won. She was an amazing Edith Piaf and does wonderfully in any role she pursues.
