Blue Dances with Wolves and Hurt Locker leads Oscars



Great Hera! First Taylor Swift wins Record of the Year for a CD no one knew about and now, "Avatar" leads Oscars noms?

Alright, I'll stop complaining... Here are the Best Picture noms:
"District 9"
"Up"
"Inglourious Basterds"
"The Blind Side" really?
"Up in The Air"
"A Serious Man"
"An Education"
"Precious"
"Avatar"
"The Hurt Locker"

Les Daniels got his 1st nom for Best Director, making him the 2nd Black director nominated ever.

I am happy to see "District 9" in the mix. If a Sci Fi movie was going to be nominated, it should this one.

Mo'Nique was given the Best Supporting Actress nom... She has come a long way, y'all. From "Soul Plane" to this. Gabourey Sidibe also received Best Actress nom for her role in "Precious".

For Best Actor, we have:
George Clooney for "Up in the Air"
Jeff Bridges for "Crazy Heart"
Morgan Freeman in "Invictus"
Colin Firth in "A Single Man" and
Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker" BTW Jeremy has come a long way too, with his fine self.

Best Actress:
Meryl Streep in "Julie & Julia"
Helen Mirren in "The Last Station"
Carey Mulligan for "An Education"
Gabourey Sidibe in "Precious"
Sandra Bullock for "The Blind Side"

I'm actually happy to see that the 'Blind Side' got nominated for best picture.

I left the theater with a wonderful feeling after seeing that movie, and I'm glad that the voters agree!

Avatar SHOULD win best picture but it won't...
And why in the hell wasn't Zoe Saldana nominated for Best Actress?

Because the actors are scared and stupid that digital technology will make them irrelevant, not accepting tat digital technology is just giving them newer and more opportunities to demonstrate their skills.

The Blind Side is an excellent movie. Sandra Bullock is amazing! I hope they both win.

I agree with Paul Benjamin. You left the theater with a wonderful feeling.
