First!
Who gives a shit PEREZO Fatso
Im so happy that Juno got nominated!!!
Johnny Depp!
D'oh!! The Simpsons Movie wasn't nominated
first bitches!!!!
in to the wild deserves sooooooooo many more
i hope JUNO wins
BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
=]
Angelina wasn't nominated! and she campaigned hard for that nomination, too.
Juno was a great movie I am glad its nominated. What's up with Hairspray? it is such a fun movie how come they arent nominated for the costumes?
No Keira, woooooooo hoooo
For once the top categories aren't a complete nightmare - There are a few choices I might disagree with based solely on my personal opinion, but there's no Titanic to get my blood boiling either.
However…
The music choices are a fucking joke - I enjoyed Enchanted (though I'd have never seen it if not for my daughter), but three songs from that and none by Eddie Vedder (Into the Wild) or Kimya Dawson (Juno)? And Jonny Greenwood (There Will Be Blood) being completely absent from the original score category? It's like the selection committee is made up entirely of grandfathers and their pre-teen granddaughters.
Im so glad ANGELINA wasnt nominated. Nor was Brad.
USELESSSSSSSSSSS
BTW FIRSTTTTTTT
Daniel, Julie, Javier, Kate, No Country for Old Men. - there's your show. Goodnight.
Cate Blanchett is a great actress…. but I'd like to see another actress get the Oscar.
yay
What happened to A Mighty Heart? We've been told for months that Angelina was the best actress according to the angeloonies…. NOT!!!! LMAO. She got the shaft. The film wasn't even nominated for ANYTHING. Her & Brad got the big boot by Hollywood this year. Guess she should go adopt a kid and put her career on the back burner for awhile,just like she said she was going to do. Congrats to the rest of the talented actors and actresses that were nominated!
WHO CARES!!!!!! I mean really a nunch of rich a holes sitting around patting themselves on the back for some crappy movie!
WHERE IS LINDSAY?!?!?!
OSCAR SUXXX
JK
oooohhhh gooooood nomineeeees
I want Johnny Depp to win so badly! I hope they don't cancel…
it's gonna be stupid if they cancel this
I hope Ellen Page wins for best actress and Juno wins for best picture. Both were phenomenal!
YAY!!!
Ellen page!!!!!…I hope she wins….
Marion Cotillard in “La Vie en Rose” . She is AMAZING. Must see movie. I don't speak French but I can feel the music through out the movie and definitely felt her. Non, je regrette rien. BEST ACTRESS=Marion Cotillard in “La Vie en Rose”
Re: ♥ ♠ ™ – umm…these nominees were just announced this morning
I'm shocked and disappointed that Angelina Jolie didn't get nominated for 'A Mighty Heart". She gave a phenomenal performance. Nominating such a young girl first time out as 'Juno' I don't agree with. Give them time to let their chops grow and pay their dues as actors. Too easy too soon, not good in the long run. IMHO.
I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT CASEY AFFLECK WAS NOMINATED FOR HIS ROLE IN JESSE JAMES. HE WAS VERY GOOD.
ALSO JUNO….EXCELLENT MOVIE. VERY FUNNY.
OH AND JOHNNY DEPP….HE WAS SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD IN SWEENEY TODD.
OMG!WTF! Angie is not nominated???????????
I'm shock!!!!!! This goes to show whom you know and the wheeling and dealing behind the scenes. Her performance in AMH is worthy of an OSCAR nomination. Hollywood really loves Cate, like that a suprise. How can they overlooked her. It's totally UNFAIR and OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!! I wish the strike will go on and on and on so the OSCAR will suffer the same fate as the Golden GLobes!!!!!! I'll boycott this year!!!!!!!!!! Anyone feel the same??????????
So little Ellen Page from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, gets her first Oscar nod at age 21. Maybe Lindsay Lohan and company should take a leaf out of Ellen's book, keep your head down and work hard. Represent, Ellen, Halifax loves you.
wtf. ratatouille??? really? i personally am rooting for juno.
No Angelina??? I guess too many people hate her (or jealous of). No Keira either. It's gonna be boring.
Funny how you're so quiet about Angelina's snub. AHHAHAHAHAHAA
i'm glad Juno got nominated, but i'm sure it won't win.
i can't believe I Am Legend wasn't nominated. that movie was phenomenal and it should get some recognition!
Re: LT –
I DISAGREE WITH YOU THERE. ANGELINA HAS WON AND BEEN NOMINATED BEFORE. TIME TO LET SOMEONE ELSE SHINE FOR A CHANCE. ELLEN PAGE WAS GREAT AND SHE IS 21…..BY THE WAY ANGELINA WAS ONLY 23 WHEN SHE WAS NOMINAED FOR HER 1ST AWARD (EMMY) AND SHE WAS ONLY 25 WHEN SHE WON HER OSCAR…..TO EASY TO SOON? MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE WAITED TILL SHE WAS 30?
Is it just me or did they snub 'American Gangster' I thought that was an awesome film only the one nom?
thank god keira 'talentless anorexic' knightly didnt get nominated for an oscar, but the supporting actress did haha
And the Oscar goes to …. me, for acting like I care.
Re: ♥ ♠ ™ –
No you didn't they were announced this morning
Re: ♥ ♠ ™ – "I read this in EW LAST WEEK!!!! " You could not have it was just announced this morning…..dumb a**!
haha perez, you're precious angelina wasn't nominated after all for her craptacular performance in a might heart…..
"katyn" is a great i so sad movie.
Congrats to Ellen Page - a local girl from here in Halifax. Even more reason to celebrate: NO Angelina crap - she can't act, she can't get a hit movie, the tramp is done!
Don't blame the writers! They are just trying to get their fair share! If you want the strike to end, call for a boycott of DVDs until they meet the writers demands in full.
Why is Juno up there so many times? It was a decent film, but the cinematography was boring, the dialogue was too heavy and it had NO SUBTEXT! why, WHY? Assassination of Jesse James should have been nominated for best picture instead. and why isn't 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 Days up for best foreign film? And yeah, Angelina Jolie should be up for best actress, instead of Ellen Page. Jason Reitman should not be up for Juno, the director of atonement of a mighty heart should have been nominated instead. BOO!
I gotta be honest, I was really pulling for LiLo in 'I Know Who Killed My Career' or 'I Know Who Farted' or whatever that magnificent cinematic epic was called.
I'm so glad No Country For Old Men has done so well; watched it this weekend, it is a truly outstanding film
i'm sorry, but did i actually see "norbit" on this list?
My question is why did the actors n director of atonement get shafted!!!! Kinda shady of the academy!!!!!!!!
Re: kn – NO one feels the same. As soon as the beloved jolie doesn't get a nom , the loonies are ready to take action and boycott. If she had been nominated they would be screaming that the Oscars MUST go on!! Such sad little people they are. Hollywood stuck it to Jolie & Brad… it's called bad karma.
Yay Johnny Depp!!!!
Come on johnny!!!!!!!!!
Take That got screwed…."Rule the World" should have been nominated for Song.
I hope Ellen Page wins she's really talented
Where is your beloved Angelina? Was her saintliness not enough to garner her another nomination?
If NOT getting nominated for an Oscar is the WORST karma has to through at AJ, IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!!
Disappointed but the band plays on.
I hope they DO cancel the Oscars and all the other awards shows. Time for Americans to get informed about our failing economy, bringing out troops home from Iraq, and upgrading our education system, rather than obsess on Britney. These people are supposed to entertain you, not be your role models. Wake up kids over 18 - time to grow up!
It's good to see that you are more worried about award shows than seeing writers get the fair deal that they are due. You complete asshole. Why don't you find out what the issues are and see how the average writer is screwed by the new media residuals as they are now before you spout off you stupid corporate apologist
I'm disappointed that "Into the Wild" was overlooked. I'm also disappointed that Angelina Jolie was overlooked for "A Mighty Heart".
"Juno" and "Acrapment" should have been left off the list as well IMO.
AND NO oscar for the SKANK and her man AKA angelina jolie and Brad pitt.
OUUCH PEREZ! Guess you bet on the wrong horse!
I wish the Academy had some balls and would give Superbad an original screenplay nod
Re: salina –
Yeah it must suck to be a BRANGELOONIE these days, with AJ losing left and right, loser.
why why whyyy did James McAvoy not get nominated for Atonement…his performance was deep, passion filled…he got the shaft once again just like The Last King of Scotland…
KN—-
BOYCOTT THE OSCARS!!!!!!!!!!!
They'll put up some gl
