      awww Catinca Untaru! She was too adorable in The Fall.

      I think people are slowly hopping on the Wall-E bandwagon…it’s like the LAFCA sparked something.

      I mean, even a Best Director nominee? It’s pretty awesome.

      I’m still clueless as to how Tropic Thunder gets a nod for Best Ensemble anywhere. It’s a pretty good film, but, really, getting an ensemble nod over Milk, Benjamin Button, and The Dark Knight? Otherwise, good choices! ;)

      Wow Elizabeth Banks ! Weird choice … but cool. Nice for Wall-E, TDK and the wrestler. Cool to see DeWitt, Rebecca Hall and Dev Patel.

      both the dark knight and wall-e are getting nominated at every awards possible. tdk is getting more locked each day and wall-e is going the same path. i think the precursor that will define if wall-e and tdk will get in the final 5 is the bafta.

      why don’t the Detroit critics aknowledge writing?
    9. RichardA December 16th, 2008 at 12:03 am 9

      I need to point out the lack of love for Gran Torino….the movie was filmed in Detroit.
    10. Ryan Adams December 16th, 2008 at 12:05 am 10

      …and what a flattering depiction of Detroit it is, RichardA. ;-)

    11. Robert Hamer December 16th, 2008 at 1:08 am 11

      No nomination for Kristin Scott Thomas? Well, there goes my respect for Detroit…
    12. Ziyad Abul Hawa December 16th, 2008 at 1:26 am 12

      No Viola Davis? That’s shocking. I guess Amy Adams is really going to get a nomination this year.
    13. Steven Ray Morris December 16th, 2008 at 3:21 am 13

      Yay Eddie Marsan gets more love. I know he won’t win, but I hope he gets a nod at least come Oscar time.
    14. taitzu December 16th, 2008 at 3:28 am 14

      No Scott Thomas again? Buhh.
    15. Gregoire December 16th, 2008 at 11:10 am 15

      Catinca Untaru is wonderful!

      “I have just come from seeing Crazy Heart. I am always skeptical when it comes to award circles honoring veteran actors for a mediocre role, but in reality, it’s for their body of work. A sympathy vote. Before I saw Crazy Heart, Jeremy Renner clearly gave the best performance. I heard that Jeff Bridges’ character was a washed-up alcoholic country singer trying to clean his act up. Truly redundant and repulsive Oscar bait. I mean, that just reminds me of Robert Duvall winning for Tender Mercies! Alcoholics almost always guarantee an Oscar nomination, and perhaps even an Oscar! (Ray Milland in The Lost Weekend, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou, Thomas Mitchell in Stagecoach, Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas). Now I’m not saying Jeff Bridges is a horrible actor. He’s a pretty good actor. I loved his earlier work, like The Last Picture Show and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Even in Starman, I found him hilarious (weird, right?). So, from word of mouth, I figured Jeff Bridges would not be all that great. I was wrong.

      Bridges put himself into this character so much, I almost forgot it was Jeff Bridges! I know, that’s hard to swallow, even for me! But he was on top of his game! Obviously, the movie had certain problems, but the movie was Jeff Bridges. Some may say his performance is subtle. True. It is a bit subtle. But it was just the little things Bridges does with his body movement, the way he speaks, his reaction to others, his singing (wow!), how he interacts with the little boy, how I looked deep into those tired blue eyes and saw the soul of this wrecked person. Bridges creates a character that you can believe. I mean, it IS easy to believe someone like Bridges playing this character, physically and otherwise. Along with my amazement Bad Blake come to life, I also pondered on the side of Bridges’ acting career as a whole, and put both the lives of Bridges and Blake and compared the two. The feeling was just too overwhelming.

      If Jeff Bridges wins the Oscar (and after seeing his performance, I am pretty sure he will), it will not be a sympathy vote. Jeff Bridges brings a complex character to life with that special king of magic persona he shoots off the screen. I am for Jeff Bridges winning the Oscar.”
