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.
Again Amy Adams gets in over Viola and I dont get the Tropic thunder love. oh well.

why don’t the Detroit critics aknowledge writing?
I need to point out the lack of love for Gran Torino….the movie was filmed in Detroit.
…and what a flattering depiction of Detroit it is, RichardA.
No nomination for Kristin Scott Thomas? Well, there goes my respect for Detroit…
No Viola Davis? That’s shocking. I guess Amy Adams is really going to get a nomination this year.
Yay Eddie Marsan gets more love. I know he won’t win, but I hope he gets a nod at least come Oscar time.
No Scott Thomas again? Buhh.
Catinca Untaru is wonderful!
