I was so shocked and awed by the Oscar nominations this morning, that I failed to even notice that Kate Winslet's nod for Best Actress is for The Reader rather than for Revolutionary Road. And my error was for the world to see over at SpoutBlog.
Anyway, I've just about given up on the Academy, finally. I used to at least enjoy the Foreign category, until Tsotsi won a few years back. But my very favorite category, the one that always saved the Oscars for me, was the Original Screenplay. But not only did Charlie Kaufman get snubbed for writing the best film of the year. My most hated film, Frozen River, got a nomination instead (also the film's star, Melissa Leo kept out my favorite actresses of the year, Michelle Williams, Sally Hawkins and, yes, Cate Blanchett). Also, I just watched In Bruges, and I don't think that was worthy, either. I guess Happy-Go-Lucky is now the one I'm rooting for in that area of the awards, if I even bother watching.
