Oscar Nominations

The Oscar nominations have been announced this morning, this year with a extra long list of Best Picture nominees.

Here's a list, with commentary.

Best Picture:
Avatar*
The Blind Side
District 9*
An Education
The Hurt Locker*
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
A Serious Man
Up*
Up In the Air

*I've seen it. Which ones have you seen already?

  • I've actually been avoiding Inglourious Basterds in spite of the World War 2 theme because it looks like the kind of movie that would make you feel like you wanted a shower afterward.
  • The Hurt Locker is my favorite here.
  • Please, please, please, don't let Avatar win. It was good but highly overrated.
  • District 9 is highly underrated by non sci-fi fans, and might be the best sci-fi in a decade.
  • I missed The Blind Side in the theater.
