+1

I lost it when it won a golden globe for best picture (drama).
Thanks for posting the nominations.

I hope Kathryn Bigelow wins best director. She didn't win a golden globe so hopefully she gets something for her work.
 
[quote name='Ugamer_X']Looks like expanding the best picture field to ten only served to allow nominations for above-average mainstream films.[/QUOTE]

Seeing as it was a seemingly knee-jerk reaction to disappointment that neither Wall-E and/or Dark Knight were nominated last year, is it really a surprise?
 
I think Adam Quigley said it best ...
Having 10 Best Picture nominees and 5 Best Director nominees is like the Academy quietly telling you, "Here are the 5 that won't win."

But as long as Christoph Waltz wins Supporting Actor for "Inglourious Basterds" I can't be too angry with the other winners/noms.
 
Mr. Freeman needs to win an Oscar before he kicks the bucket so i'm rooting for him for best actor.

He already won Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby.

That was the stated goal. Generate more interest by having more nominees that the casual movie fan has seen.

I think he'd win if the guy wasn't in every other movie put into production. It gets to the point where every role he does bleeds together. It's like the same fucking character in every movie.

I agree. It should not have been nominated in the first place.
 
Here's my predictions for the major categories.
