'Rings' Tops Oscar List; Actors Nominees Surprise
Today is like a national holiday to me. In the morning we get the list of Oscar nominees above; tonight we get a better grip on who we'll nominate for president. For now, my reaction to the Academy Awards:
Good: Return of the King leads all nominees and looks like the can't-miss front-runner now.
Bad: None of the actors from Return of the King are nominated.
Good: Bill Murray got his first nomination, and Sofia Coppola got two, for the sublime Lost in Translation.
Bad: Scarlett Johansson was snubbed after getting nominated for both Lost in Translation and Girl With a Pearl Earring at the Golden Globes.
Good: Mystic River could clean up in the acting awards, with Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Marcia Gay-Harden all nominated.
Bad: Laura Linney's chilling performance in Mystic River was ignored.
Good: I don't feel obligated to see Cold Mountain now that the Academy has snubbed it.
Bad: I feel like I should see Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World now that it's got ten nominations.
What do you think of today's nominees?
