The Academy Award nominees were announced just moments ago in LA, and what jumps out is ‘The Hangover’ for Best Picture, a category that has expanded this year to include 10 nominees. Also noteworthy is Kathyrn Bigelow (James Camerons’ ex-wife) for Best Director, making her just the fourth woman to ever be nominated and the first one that I kind of want to have sex with.
BEST PICTURE
- “Avatar”
- “Up in the Air”
- “Inglourious Basterds”
- “The Hurt Locker”
- “Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire”
- “The Blind Side”
- “Up”
- “District 9”
- “An Education”
- “The Hangover”
The fact that ‘Precious’ includes ‘Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire’ in the title makes me wanna punch somebody. It serves no purpose, it’s just smug ‘New Yorker’ liberal “look how fancy we are” bullshit. How GD specific do they think I need to be when buying a movie ticket. I guess if i just said ‘Precious’, WHO KNOWS what movie I might end up going to. It would be pandemonium.
BEST DIRECTOR
- “Avatar,” James Cameron
- “The Hurt Locker,” Kathryn Bigelow
- “Inglourious Basterds,” Quentin Tarantino
- “Up in the Air,” Jason Reitman
- “Precious,” Lee Daniels
‘Basterds’ is fanfuckingtastic, Tarantinos masterpiece, and ‘Hurt Locker’ is the best movie of the year, but Hollywood has spoken; if your movie isn’t in 3D, fuck you. 3D 3D 3D!!!
BEST ACTOR
- Jeff Bridges, “Crazy Heart”
- George Clooney, “Up in the Air”
- Morgan Freeman, “Invictus”
- Colin Firth, “A Single Man”
- Jeremy Renner, “The Hurt Locker”
I only saw one of these, so I guess you could say I wasn’t impressed by the other 4. Therefore Renner wins.
BEST ACTRESS
- Gabourey Sidibe, “Precious”
- Sandra Bullock, “The Blind Side”
- Meryl Streep, “Julie and Julia”
- Helen Mirren, “The Last Station”
- Carey Mulligan, “An Education”
I’m a little surprised Zoe Saldana isn’t here for ‘Avatar’. She was getting lots of attention. It’s not easy to do good work under those conditions. Hollywood can be pretty shady but they should be commended for their color blind casting. A black actress can win any part and be a big star, like Zoe, Halle Berry or Thandie Newton, just as long as they have enough white features to not frighten the old people who run Hollywood.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
- Matt Damon, “Invictus”
- Woody Harrelson, “The Messenger”
- Christopher Plummer, “The Last Station”
- Stanley Tucci, “The Lovely Bones”
- Christoph Waltz, “Inglourious Basterds”
Waltz is even more of a lock for this than Ledger was last year. Harrelson better OD immediately.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
- Mo’nique, “Precious”
- Anna Kendrick, “Up in the Air”
- Vera Farmiga, “Up in the Air”
- Penelope Cruz, “Nine”
- Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart”
I didn’t see any of these movies but Gyllenhaal should win because then I can call her The Sad Cartoon Turtle some more.
UPDATE, CORRECTION - this list was copied from a fox blog as it happened and i guess something went wrong, but ‘hangover’ is not nominated. the only other error was in best supporting actress. penelope cruz was nominated and julianne moore was not. the lists are now correct. i do apologize, and i drew this hamster lookin thing for you if you can forgive me.

Oh YAY, Another award show!!!
Kill me now………………..
I hope Mo’nique and “Precious” win the awards……..
….because who DOESN’T love a movie about a fat sweaty illiterate negress and her incestuously bastard spawn?
Actually having looked at the list for Best Picture, at least some of them are actually good films this year.
Invictus
Up
Up in the air
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
District 9
The rest, meh, although unfortunately that Precious one will probably win it.
The hangover, really?
I hope the Dude wins.
How many fucking movies are nominated? I thought it was only supposed to be five.
Up should win.
Fuck Avatar.
I would love it if Up won.
Although I’m surprised that The Road and Viggo Mortenson arent on there, that film made me cry more than the book
It would be even more impressive if The Hangover were actually nominated. BOOOOOOOSH.
Actually, the nominees are…
“Avatar”
“The Blind Side”
“District 9”
“An Education”
“The Hurt Locker”
“Inglourious Basterds”
“Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire”
“A Serious Man”
“Up”
“Up in the Air”
… no “The Hangover” in there.
Jesus! Brendumb is an idiot.
Coincidence…
I just took a Novel Push by Sapphire and produced a Large black Shit that had to be flushed in two parts
yeah Rem I’m supposed the Road isn’t on there either. Can’t say it made me weepy, but then again there’s something about bleak post-apocalyptic futures that makes my pants tight in the front.
Up? Don’t they have an animated film category anymore? And, fuck Avatar is right. Fuck James Cameron. I will never see that piece of shit.
Up is some sad ass bullshit. Fuck a UP. “Up In The Air” was the shit. Hurt Locker is one of the best movies ever made. Tarantino will never make a better film and oh look….Ohm’s back.
The asshole convention must’ve ended. God. damn. it.
I agree with Ohm……I will never see Avatar. I’d rather let Ohm shit in my fucking mouth, balls resting on my nostrils then watch that pretentious piece of GD shit.
The Road needed a bitch in it….not his goddamned son. pedophiles everywhere are still pulling their punies to that fucking piece of sad ass shit movie.
now if he was with a bitch and they bedded down a few times, brokeback style, but no homo, that movie WOULD be fucking nominated on here.
FUCK cormac mccarthy in his non-punctuation using brown eye.

The Road and Crazy Heart should definitely be there. Shit. If they’re going to nominate TEN goddamn movies, why not 12 or 15? Christ!
