Inglourious Basterds is nominated for so many things!!!

 

[Decalion]

Penelope Cruz's nominations are getting ridiculous. Rebecca Hall was superior in Vicky Christina Barcelona, and Cotillard in Nine. Christ!

 

[jessikt]

Yeah I think it's a bit ridiculous that she won best actress for that role!!

 

[chicandcool]

I swear to God, if Avatar wins Best Picture, I will burn the Academy down.
Well, maybe not, but you get my point.

 

[Jacque Marcel]

Take out Penelope Cruz and replace with Julianne Moore. She was great in A Single Man.

 

[jessikt]

I swear to God, if Avatar wins Best Picture, I will burn the Academy down.
Well, maybe not, but you get my point.

I definitely get your point.
It was a cool 3D experience... but Best Picture? Come on!!

 

[vichyfrance]

Anna Kendrick? she was so boring

Abel Korzeniowski's score for A Single Man was well deserving of a nomination. what a crime!

 

[dajrekshn]

I swear to God, if Avatar wins Best Picture, I will burn the Academy down.
Well, maybe not, but you get my point.

ditto. the same thing goes for Blind Side - it's recycled Erin Brockovich meets Jerry Maguire, jesus.

i cannot express my disapointment with the total ignorance towards Young Victoria and Bright Star. imo, Paul S. gave the exquisite performance in Bright Star that can only be up agains Christoph Waltz. Abbie and Emily were , and i'm so pissed with Meryl Streep nomination. she's a godess of acting, but no way did she deserve this nomination, academy always picks the worst interpretations when it comes to returning debts to actors (Denzel, i'm looking at you ) .
man...

EDIT: forgot to say YAY for Maggie.

 

[MonkeyFish]

Meryl streep??? She gets nominated every bloody year. The academy should give someone else a chance. And penelope cruz???? wtf??? Nine was bloody awful and she was a bit rubbish in it.

But hooray for Maggie gyllehaal!!!!! Just shows you that you dont need to do some ridiculous promote yourself campaign thing to get one. I want gabby sidibe and monique to win!!!!!

 

[MonkeyFish]

Take out Penelope Cruz and replace with Julianne Moore. She was great in A Single Man.

Take out meryl streep and sandra bullock. and instead put abbie cornish!!!!

 

[Birkin]

I swear to God, if Avatar wins Best Picture, I will burn the Academy down.
Well, maybe not, but you get my point.

i will burn it if it doesn't win

 

[humor]

Penelope??? Really???? It`s getting ridiculous. This girl is so overrated. She didn`t deserve the Oscar last year and she doesn`t deserve this nomination.

 

[lonn3k3]

so now they nominated anyone? this year's oscars are a joke; i wonder why they didn't nominate beyonce for her amazing perfomance in Obsessed?!

i just hope Carey and Christopher Waltz will win;they're among the few ones who actually deserve nominations

 

[Working Girl]

I am so happy for Maggie, Monique, Gabby

 

[ALAUU]

Okay, I love Penelope Cruz, but if anyone in Nine deserved a nomination, it was Marion Cotillard. That's just BS imo.

 

[Flashbang]

I swear to God, if Avatar wins Best Picture, I will burn the Academy down.
Well, maybe not, but you get my point.

This very much.

 

[Label Basher]

BEST ACTRESS
Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Carey Mulligan, An Education
Gabourey Sidibe, Precious
Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
MoNique, Precious
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart
Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
Penelope Cruz, Nine

I'm happy overall with everything (yay I BUT

Best Supporting is a joke. We all know MoNique will get it but Melanie Laurent for IB and Julianne Moore for A Single Man should be there instead of Maggie and Penelope. I can't believe Penelope has been nominated. People are going mental over that. She can GTFO for all I care.

Best Actress well those 5 are strong but I am dissapointed that Abbie for Bright Star and Emily Blunt for Young Victoria were ignored.

Overall I think it wasn't really a good year for female roles.

 

[IAmLordZen]

↑ Ditto. Penelope's nominations get weirder as the years progress. I found her performance in Nine good, but it was shadowed by the better performance of her accolades.

I think Avatar's going to win Best Picture though. Record breaking ticket sales. How many years has it been since Titanic? It was a cool 3D movie but I'm not a fan.

Meryl Streep.... again... But she was pretty good in that role.
