Good job - you got a lot of them right (except that pesky supporting actress category). I was a bit skeptical last night when I saw "Up" on your list for Best Picture - especially considering animated features have their own category now, I thought they would concede that one to "Up" and give a "real" movie the last slot in the Best Picture category. But I was wrong! It seems kind of... dumb to me to have Up nominated for both "Best Picture" and "Best Animated Feature," though. I mean, isn't it a given now that it'll win the latter category? The fact that it was nominated for Best Picture and no other animated film was kind of shows that it's already the best of the animated features. It's like announcing the winner before the ceremony.
All right. I'm thinking way too hard about this. Also, I'm a bit bummed that "9" wasn't nominated - I really liked that movie. I should probably see "Up," though.
Thanks!
Yeah, I see what you're saying about "Up" - it does seem a bit redundant with the Animated Feature category... but then again, Foreign Language films are eligible for the Best Picture Oscar, and they have been nominated there too (think "Life is Beautiful").
Overall I was pleased and fairly indifferent with the nominations.
