[ACADEMY AWARDS] 81st Annual Oscar Nominations
OOOOOOOOKAY. So, the Oscar nominations came out. And... wow. All I have to say, and I'm sorry, but WHERE is Gran Torino? I mean NO where? Really? Not a single place? NOTHING? Damn.
Just. Damn.
Which means, the rest of them are gonna go like this:
WILL WIN
Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
Richard Jenkins (THE VISITOR)
Frank Langella (FROST/NIXON)
Mickey Rourke (THE WRESTLER)
Here's the thing, either people will be TOTALLY behind Sean Penn because of the Prop8 biz or they'll be TOTALLY against him. Either way, it should be his award. No offense, but TCCOBB bored me. And Brad Pitt? You just didn't do it for me, honey.
Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
Josh Brolin (MILK)
Robert Downey Jr. (TROPIC THUNDER)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (DOUBT)
Heath Ledger (THE DARK KNIGHT)
Michael Shannon (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD)
I'm not EVEN TOUCHING THIS ONE. Nope. No how, no way. Only because I never thought that RDJ would get nominated, I don't care how cool they were with Johnny Depp. And where I forgot that the Joker was Heath? I totally forgot that RDJ was NOT a black man. He didn't break character to break character- You know what I mean if you've seen it. I have a feeling it'll go to Heath Ledger because he died and I disagree with people saying he wouldn't have gotten the nom had he lived. It was an EXCELLENT performance. In that vein, I wonder if the voters will take pity on RDJ and call it his comeback year. WHO KNOWS? Not I.
Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
Angelina Jolie (CHANGELING)
Melissa Leo (FROZEN RIVER)
Meryl Streep (DOUBT)
Dammit. And I only say dammit because Kate wasn't nom'd in the Supporting category. *sighs* And though people will disagree and say that Kate's been working for it longer or whatever (which ticks me off because it's not length, it's performance), I've been hearing that Disney Princesses shouldn't get Oscars. And I think that when Disney Princesses become drug addicted meth-heads? They do.
Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
Amy Adams (DOUBT)
Viola Davis (DOUBT)
Marisa Tomei (THE WRESTLER)
It might be hard out here for a pimp, but DAMN I love her. I REALLY want her to win and as much as I ♥ Penelope, I JUST DIDN'T in that movie. She rambled in Spanish and threw things. I didn't like it. No. But oh GOODNESS was Taraji ADORABLE in TCCOBB. Love her. LOOOOOOOVE HER.
