Oscar nominations


wow. craziness.
*There Will Be Blood and No Country both scored 8 nominations. right on.

*Juno kicked ass. 4 nominations total. Best Actress, Best Picture, Original screenplay, but No one expected Jason Reitman to get a director nom. I love it. Know why? Because if it wasn't for him we would have a totally different soundtrack. He's the one who asked Ellen Page what music she thought Juno would listen too. Hence, awesome tunes from the Kimya Dawson and the Moldy Peaches.

*Michael Clayton kicked ass and got 7 nominations.

*Laura Linney got nominated for a movie I loved- The Savages.

*They remembered Viggo Mortenson in Eastern Promises! Yay!

*Roger Deakins~The Best Cinematographer alive got 2 nominations!! that rules. we knew he'd get 1, but 2. He'll win for No Country. No one else could make a gruesome nasty murder scene in the desert look beautiful. He's had 5 nominations in previous years and never won. It's time dude.
Also awesome.....No Country For Old Men was nominated for editing. Best part is their editor: Roderick Jayne. Why is this name funny? Because the dude isn't real. Joel & Ethan Coen edit their own films. The name was made up by them in '92 because to quote Joel "There were already enough Coens in the credits of our movies."
Love those dudes.
full list here.


ok. i have to work now. more later.
