It's happening in Natter.
There are alot of movies that I want to see that were nominated but no actual movies that I've seen. (I went to very few movies and haven't even seen POTC3 - even though I have the dvd.)

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I saw a couple of Oscar-nominated movies over the weekend, but they weren't nominated for this year.
Though The Talk of the Town raises issues of legal principles vs. practice that are still timely. And where else can you see Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman all in the same movie?
And The Spiral Staircase is a great thriller/noir, even if the psychology is too Freudian for today's mindset.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Go Ellen Page & Juno (Actress, Screenplay & Movie)!
And Director! That was a surprise.
The noms weren't all that surprising. Ratatouille for screenplay was probably the only one I didn't see coming. And I guess that's because Oscar gets ten spots instead of the Globes' five.
Also: HOLY SHIT NORBIT IS NOW AN OSCAR-NOMINATED MOVIE.

HOLY SHIT NORBIT IS NOW AN OSCAR-NOMINATED MOVIE.
Yeah but I think each Razzie nomination cancels out an Oscar nom. So that leaves Norbit with minus seven Oscar noms or so.
Edited because two z's is enough for any word.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was glad to see Lars and the Real Girl on the list.

Go Ellen Page & Juno (Actress, Screenplay & Movie)!
I think these are the noms I'm most excited about, along with "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", and the performance of French movies in general.

Punishingly Intricate
(I believe McAvoy's McBeth is on the same disc with Much Ado About Nothing).
I have that at home right now!!! (Watched Much Ado but haven't seen the McBeth yet.)

Compassionately intolerant
I watched McAvoy's Redone Dane last night on youtube. So intense. He's so lovable in the beginning and then the steep, totally viscous slide into madness. Well done Beeb! But, a tragic waste of Richard Armitage, it must be said.
eta: I howled at the reference to Gordon Ramsey as the Scottish Chef, bad luck to name in the kitchen and 'as Scottish as Spotted Dick.' Jarringly hilarious

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it is a travesty that McAvoy was overlooked for Best Actor and it must be said. without him, that movie would have fallen flat for me.
I am glad to see Into the Wild and Juno in there though. they're both fantastic movies.
