Nominatioooooooons
Jan. 23rd, 2007 03:09 pmZOMG nominations are out!!!!! *scans list quick* Okay, no big surprises here yet. But they're not done yet. Somehow it's the usual suspects. I'm mightily pleased that Peter O'Toole got a nomination for Best Actor. Wouldn't that be ironic of he got it, now that he grudgingly accepted the Life-Time Achievement?? Hahaha... not that I think he will, TBH, but still! Also two black actors nominated for Best Actor at the same time! And Martin Scorcese just HAS to take the golden man home this time. This is starting turning into a farce, I say! D:
Germany, Denmark, Algeria, Mexico and Canada took Best Foreign Language. THANK YOU! If it had been Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood all over again I'd be really pissed, I tell you.
Dreamgirls twice for Original song. That's rare, if not a first! O.o
PoTC taking away a couple of the "artsy" nomination. We'll see about that.
Borat also got one for Best Writing based on previously published. Good... good... we'll see about the hype there, especially since the contestants are very strong, The Departed and Children of Men... This could be Shakespeare in Love all over, haha.
Cars, Monster House and Happy Feet Best Animated Feature. Hmmm... I'm for Cars, kinda. Happy Feet mixed in too much real life footage and Monster House looked really dumb. JMHO.
Don't know any of the shorts, life-action or animated, and documentaries again, as always.
All in all this is going to be a sad Oscar year for me, because I've only seen a deplorably tiny number of the movies involved! *sigh*
Okay gotta run.
