81st Academy Awards Nominations
Movie Moxie — The nominations for the 81st Academy Awards were announced this morning. I always find this day very exciting, with tea and highlighter handy to make predictions. The noms came in high for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button leading with 13, Slumdog Millionaire has 10, Milk & The Dark Knight tie for 8 a piece. I'm thrilled to see Richard Jenkins nominated for The Visitor, I was worried it would be too early in the year to be nominated. Another well deserved nod goes to Michael Shannon for ...

Oscar nominations -- two new milestones
FilmChat — The Academy has spoken, and while I haven't had a chance to check out any of the other commentaries out there yet, I did want to note one or two things.

We've had lots of Best Visual Effects winners that have relied on computers. But what have we never had, so far? A Best Cinematography winner -- or even a nominee -- that was shot using a digital camera. Until this morning, that is, when 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' showed up on the list of ...
