Oscar Noms and Button Love
Hollywood Elsewhere —
Oscar Noms and Button Love No Best Picture nomination for The Dark Knight or WALL*E , but 13 nominations for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ? Okay, fine, what's done is done...but in this respect the Oscar nominations are feeling a bit tepid to me. And wait a minute, hold up here, whoa . Brad Pitt has been nominated for Best Actor for playing a passive sponge man with two and a half expressions? This is a performance abour makeup and CG. Button is very worthy film in some respects, but this is comic relief. This is ridiculous. Nobody in the movie-savvy world ...

... Herzog, ya'll! 4) They're really not gonna be able to resist having Javier give Penelope that statue now, are they? Even though I think Viola Davis deserves it a little more, I'm surprisingly alright with this scenario. You have Almodovar to thank for that, Penny. 5) Even though I didn't much like the movie, it's nice that Harvey Milk's name just became an even bigger deal right now. You can see all the noms right here, or see them and join in the conversation at The Film Experience. ...
Oscar Surprises: Dark Knight Out, Reader In
Thompson On Hollywood —
... Here's the list of noms, led by David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, with 13. Someone asked me to make my Oscar pics before this morning, and I backed out. You have to get a feel for the whole list. Heading toward the Academy Awards night on February 22, Benjamin Button will be slugging it out with Slumdog Millionaire. But Milk also did very well, which is why I'm still picking Sean Penn to beat Mickey Rourke, partly because The Wrestler landed only two acting noms. Milk is going to have to win something. The noms list is on the jump: ...

Why Best Picture Escaped “The Dark Knight”
Movies —
dark_knight_ver24 Oscar nominations were announced Wednesday , leaving many fanboys grumbling in its wake. After months of media hyping, after rave reviews from critics and fellow filmmakers alike, after a passionate grassroots campaign and an enthusiastic push from Warner Bros… The academy gave no serious consideration to The Dark Knight after all, despite its 8 (mostly technical) nominations. No Best Director, no Best Adapted Screenplay, and no Best Picture. The Dark Knight has a Tomatometer rating of 94%, placing it above nominees Milk (93%), The Curious Case of ...

So, this week the Oscar Nominations were announced. As well as I loved No Country for Old Men, I was pleased to see the unlikeable Burn After Reading get shut out after a degree of buzz. Heather Ledger was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, to no one's surprise and on the first anniversary of his tragic passing. In somewhat of a surprise to me, he is up aginst Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder. Now, I stay out of debates about whether or not the deceased should win such awards; it is my feeling that an ...

As we haven’t seen everything in every category, remember this is all just healthy speculation mixed with research of critics we respect and what we know about Academy voting behavior in years past. We haven’t included all the categories for those same reasons, as well. A full ballot can be found at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ official website, which is found here. ...
