And The 2009 Academy Award Nominees Are...

In about an hour. Settle.

My thoughts are on nominees:

Heath Ledger - Best Supporting Actor

Mickey Rourke - Best Actor

The Dark Knight - Best Picture

Probably the Titanic actors. DiCaprio and Winslet.

Slumdog Millionaire? Really? Shut the fuck up. Little Miss Indian Picture.

Heat Ledger wins this or I am going to protest.

-HECK!

I reckon Heath will win.
I think Kate Winslet will win something.

I don;t know anything about Slumdog Milllionaire, but it's winning all kind of awards so I assume it will win some Oscars.

Ledger got the nom. Langella too.

Pitt. Penn. Hathaway. Brolin.

No Winslet or DiCaprio.

Dark Knight was left out from the rest.

Milk, Frost/Nixon, Slumbdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and another movie was up for best pic

-HECK!

The people from 'Doubt' ...Streep and what's his nuts were nominated.

-HECK!

There you go. I posted this minutes after it was annoucned, just so you know.

I mean, what the heck. Or HECK!

I give my all. Heh.

ZUh?

I have movies to see!

I will make one call currently... Heath Ledger. Not because he died. The man was that good.

-HECK!

He was dope in The Dark Knight, no doubt. He earned that award.

Brolin and Penn should win also, though, since they made out with each other. Not many movies where you can see the Green Goblin shoving his tongue down Spicoli's throat.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button shouldn't win shit. Brad Pitt can win best actor because he was good, but the movie was boring as hell.

Oh hell, not to forget Downey Jnr's brilliant performance in Tropic Thunder. Tough call this year.

Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up it seems. On that note, I want to say something. It was a good movie, I'll give it that. I enjoyed watching it and thought the story it told was extremely fascinating... and it was totally well done; well acted, well executed, well written.

On that note, it won't live up to the hype for those who haven't seen it. The end was predictable and a bit silly.

Kate Winslet! Finally!
Her acceptance speech was brilliant.

Did anyone actually think Heath Ledger wouldn't win?

Wooh - Wall-E! I loved it.

I don't even know if anybody else was nominated other than Heath Ledger.

Wall-E was brilliant.

Kate Winslet. Yes. Awesome. And so so so funny. See her on the show 'Extras' to discover why her win is so funny.
