WHAT?!? WHAT?!? I couldn't beleive some of these nominations. I have lost pretty much all trust I once had in the Oscars.
Three things in this show I am truly sad for:
1. Sally Hawkins
She really deserved a nomination. Oscars! How could you say no to that sweet Globes speech?
2. Kate Winslet
She really could have won with The Reader, if it was in the right category. This was going to be her year! But now, thanks to the academy, there's really a slim slim chance she'll win.
3. The Dark Knight
No Best Picture, Screenplay or Director. Makes me so mad!
Oh, and The Reader for Best Picture? Really? The Oscars, even in a year of varried and rare gems of films, manages to pick out the same films like every year.
