Me too!

but "The Blind Side" for best picture? And not "A Single Man"? Neutral

and I mean, I love Penelope, but I think Marion Cotillard or Julianne Moore should have gotten a nom.

I've never seen The Blind Side bc I cant stand Sandra but was it really that good? Anyway, A Single Man looked amazing from the trailer, still haven't seen that one yet- omg my opinions are invalid Crying or Very sad

I need to see some of htese movies lol

I haven't seen the The Blind Side either Laughing

but I read tons of reviews about the movie and some critics said that Sandra's performance was great, but the whole movie could have been a Lifetime TV movie Laughing

and I saw A Single Man and it really was so amazing. Like...wow really. Also no Adapted Screenplay nomination for A Single Man either (no nomination for Tom Ford Sad

)
That movie was really snubbed in tons of categories. But thank Yahweh Colin Firth got a nomination. He was incredible.
I still need to see a lot of those movies, like The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds Crying or Very sad

ugh at Avatar Rolling Eyes

it better not win best picture -_-

I think me and you are the only people left in the world who haven't seen Avatar lol

And yea I agree Blind Side looks a Lifetime movie haha

lmao! and I really don't want to see it. Not interested at all. Even though everybody keeps praising it, I still don't want to see it.
I think Jose saw it and he said it was good but not Oscar good. Sandra is gonna win anyway, although I think Gabby should win.
I also want to see An Education. And Surprised

Broken Embraces didn't get an Oscar nom for Best Foreign film Surprised

omg what kind of bullshit is dis????? Ugh I hate the Blind Side now. Laughing

It is srsly a Lifetime movie. V_V They're not even gonna be fun this year cuz you already know who's gonna win everything too.
And I'm so peeved Broken Embraces didn't get any nods! It was srsly an amazing movie! Pene should have gotten a Best Actress for that one. Rolling Eyes

I still need to see A Single Man. Sad

I wanna see An Education too, Inglorious Basterds is good from what I hear but I still need to see Avatar.
