Why wasn't Tron Legacy nominated in this category?

[up][up]To keep the tradition, I suppose. The original Tron was snubbed also. But in that case it was cheating.

And after seeing Legacy's lightcycle scene broken down at a screening at my university, this time there is no excuse.

If Randy Newman doesn't win this award, the Academy Awards have learned nothing.

Obit montage! I love the obit montage!

Could have done without Celine Dion though. And where was Corey Haim?

I'm happy with The Kings Speech winning Best Director. And best picture, if it does.

[up][up][up][up]That might be suprising if it weren't for the fact that everyone and their grandma basically called it. I mean, everybody's called it "oscar bait" since it came out.

Yeeessss.

Black Swan has been one of the best films I've seen in awhile, and now I'm hoping it'll win Best Picture.

Black Swan was good, but not my favorite of the ones I've seen.
