			<description><![CDATA[For whatever reason, I know that the soundtrack for Where the Wild Things Are was disqualified for the Best Original Score category (the Academy's rules for that are pretty odd, which has caused a number of scores in the past to be deemed ineligible. Most prominently, There Will Be Blood back in 2007). However, it was still eligible for the Best Original Song category, and I'm surprised that they didn't at least throw them a bone there for "All is Love."

I sorta agree with Night Owl in that the Academy sometimes tends to reward films often based on hype rather than actual quality (in 2005, many Academy members refused to watch screenings of Brokeback Mountain, probably for obvious reasons), though not necessarily all the time. And, after all, that hype has to have some reason behind it, and most of the time it isn't necessarily unfounded.

With the Oscars, I've sort of come to the mindset that when I predict winners/nominees, I don't think about what "should" be nominated, but rather what "will" be nominated.]]></description>

The Bad:
-Where The Wild Things Are doesn't pick up any sort of technical nominations, in particular, Art Direction, Costume Design

Are you kidding me? Where's Karen O's work on the movie soundtrack? That should've been nominated for something...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've kind of stopped caring about the Oscars since they rarely seem to reward real quality, but this year does seem particularly disappointing. [i]A Serious Man[/i] should have been up for cinematography and editing, and I can't believe Michael Stuhlbarg's performance in that was overlooked. [i]Where the Wild Things Are[/i], while not a perfect film, was somewhat snubbed in my opinion (I thought it was beautifully filmed, for one). I'm happy that Christian Berger's cinematography for [i]The White Ribbon[/i] got a nomination.

In general, most of the nods seem to be on the basis of hype and commercial appeal.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah I agree that [i]The Blind Side[/i] getting a Best Picture nomination is pretty weak; it was an okay movie but definitely not a standout in any areas other than perhaps Bullock's performance.  I guess they probably wanted to represent some variety but there were plenty of much better movies, even [i]Star Trek[/i] would have been more suitable.  But then you'd have two sci-fi blockbusters in the best picture nominations, plus [i]District 9[/i]...

I still find the distinction between sound mixing and sound editing a little funny considering that they frequently have mostly the same nominees and all the other categories are broader.  I guess some might argue that there are several categories for visuals, so it makes sense to have at least two for sound.  (Score and best song not withstanding)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was kind of upset that [i]9[/i] didn't get any nominations, as I though it was a great film. Visually. I am [i]very[/i] glad that [i]Up[/i] got the Best Film nomination, even though it's chances of winning it are slim. As for everything else, most of the films I haven't even seen, but I did see [i]Avatar[/i], and I'm not surprised by the nominations it got.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[url=http://oscar.go.com/nominations/nominees]The 2010 Oscar nominations were just released[/url]. Your guys' thoughts?

Here's what I think:

The Good:
-The Hurt Locker and Avatar lead the pack with 9 nominations each
-Jeremy Renner for Best Actor
-District 9 picks up 4 nominations including Best Picture
-Up for Best Picture

The Bad:
-The Blind Side for Best Picture over several better films (Star Trek, Invictus)
-No (500) Days of Summer for Best Original Screenplay
-Matt Damon somehow nominated Best Supporting Actor for Invictus
-Where The Wild Things Are doesn't pick up any sort of technical nominations, in particular, Art Direction, Costume Design
-Ponyo misses Best Animated Film
-No District 9 for Best Makeup

So, overall, a few good selections and a few surprised, but a pretty "meh" list otherwise.]]></description>
