Nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards were anounced this morning. (Groundhog Day!) No major surprises. I didn’t expect major nominations for (500) Days or Star Trek but I was disappointed that (500) Days of Summer was not nominated for Original Screenplay. Oh well.
My main question – will this be the year that a woman finally wins Best Director? Many feel Kathryn Bigelow is deserving. We’ll find out March 7th.
I am hopeful about our hosts for the cermony, Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin. Oscar hosts have been hit or miss over the years but it is a pretty thankless job. I think both these guys are funny and they might have good chemistry. Their success would certainly would make the 4 hour plus broadcast a little shorter.

Ofcourse, i hope Quentin wins these, and Christoph Waltz better fuicnkg win best supporting actor, but honestly i dont think basterds can win best picture of the year, for me it was best picture AMAZING AMAZING movie, but i just dont think it’ll win sadly, for best screenplay though i really hope he wins, he’s been working on this movie for so long poor guy
