So, what do you think? What movies were missed and what/who doesn't even deserve to be there? Personally, I feel that Avatar doesn't deserve the Best Picture nomination or the best directing. It was a good film, but the story wasn't that amazing. Maybe The Hangover should go in it's place?
I also think that Brad Pitt deserved a Best Actor nomination for Inglourious Basterds. Why did he not get one? Who knows, but I do feel that he deserves one. But, I suppose it doesn't really matter what I think. What do y'all think about the nominations?
I totally agree about Avatar. A best picture nominee must master everything, and Avatar did not do that as far as storyline and acting goes. I also feel like The Blind Side (while a fun movie) is purely in that category to gain viewers...it's just a mediocre football flic. Brad totally deserved a nod, but at least the Basterds have Christoph Waltz and his groundbreaking performance to represent them in the best supporting actor category! I'm excited about that one. This blog is great, you guys. Keep the entries coming!

Thanks Maggie! I'm really hoping for a win from Inglourious Basterds. It's probably not likely, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for reading! :)
