The big news is that Keira Knightley didn't get nominated for Best Actress for Atonement. I'm sure she'll be pissed about it too. I am officially throwing my full support behind Marion Cotillard who is devastatingly fabulously amazingly awesome in La Vie en Rose, the life-story of Edith Piaf. I can't think of too many more moving moments than the end of this when she sings "Non, je ne regrette rien" in the midst of dying of liver cancer. By the way, all these little flitheads like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears who think abusing their bodies is so hilarious - think about Edith looking like a 70-year-old woman when she wasn't even 50 yet. And Edith had a lot of good reasons to hate life and abuse herself too. And oh by the way starlets - they ain't gonna be making biopics about your sorry asses forty years down the road. Certainly not ones starring actors as brilliant as Marion, who's like a grittier, less precious, much sexier Giulietta Masina.
Other than that I don't know. I liked Viggo's naked wrestling match with the two knife-wielding thugs at the end of the thoroughly-unpleasant yet compelling and beautifully-crafted Eastern Promises, but I'm not sure that qualifies him to win any awards. Ruby Dee in American Gangster is sort of a joke to me cause she only has one big scene where she tells Denzel Washington that even she knows you don't kill cops, and that scene felt like it needed a couple more takes to me in all honesty (I guess Ridley Scott was too polite to make Ruby do it again). And Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There - it's supposed to be this great impersonation of Bob Dylan but the point of the movie, as I understood it, is that the actors aren't really playing Bob Dylan but characters inspired by Dylan's own personal mythology who resemble Dylan but have different names and stories and therefore aren't actually him. So she's not really impersonating Dylan but is only playing a character who is sort of Dylan but actually not. Getting an idea of what a wank-off this movie is? It wouldn't have annoyed me so much except that Todd Haynes was trying so hard to do a Fellini thing with the Blanchett section, as if the not-Dylan were really Guido from 8 1/2 crossed with Anita Ekberg from La Dolce Vita, and it just seemed so superficial, like a film-school student doing some limp homage. And don't even get me started with the Richard Gere end-of-the-world jive. The only good part of that movie was Heath Ledger as the pissy actor and the amazing and fantastic Charlotte Gainsbourg as his wife. I could've watched two full hours of Heath and Charlotte slowly getting more angry at each other. I'm glad Charlotte's okay after her brain injury too. Love her.

I'd much rather see Keira Knightley nominated than Angelina Jolie...who the hell is she blowing to deserve all these nominations? Overacting, pouting and transylvanian accents do not an actor make.
oh come on! IMHO it is great that Angelina got nominated.
Probably this night Brad doesn't have to sleep on the bedside carpet. Maybe she even does allow him to cover himself with a blanket! And Shiloh gets out of its cage to watch 'its' 'siblings' play with the toys 'the blob' never gets because 'it' is 'privileged'.
So for the sake of Brad and the blob - be happy about it.
COME ON ! Adoptalina Jolie hasn't had a good movie since she played herself in gia and girl interrupted ! Asfor Bradshit , I never have been impressed with him at all -
I'm with Crabbie on I'm Not There. Even if something could have redeemed this film, I would never have gotten past Cate Blanchett playing herself playing Dylan. And I also felt the attempt to mimic Fellini was completely pretentious but I felt they were trying to pull that off during the Richard Gere thing [?] not the Cate part. Anyhow, I want my $8 back.
8:59 since when have the nominations been based on the 'performance'? or good movies?
Cate Blanchett is the shit. Name another modern day actress who can do what she does. Meaning, act in a movie without reducing herself to some abominable, slithering, unawares sex vixen. *crickets chirping*
Crabbie, Marion Cottiard in La Vie en Rose is the absolute best!! I haven't seen a performance like that--EVER!! Of course, I don't think she will win, but she deserves too.
Brad and angelina are two of the most over rated people in hwood. Posh (old) spice and Beckam are right in ther also. Crabbie, you need to nominate your own awards for the year.
Viggo all the way.
You are aware that Keira Knightley isn't a SAG actress and that pretty much disqualifies her from being nominated. I mean don't you know anything? Of course not. Spiteful uneducated blog posts know jack shit about the things they post about.
Hey fuck-nuts anonymous 8:17 pm. I'm quoting from Anne Thompson of Variety now (you've heard of Variety, right?):
"SAG voters are somewhat more mainstream than the Academy actors. They steered away from such late-breaking high-brow Academy contenders as Sweeney Todd and Atonement. No Johnny Depp, James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Saorise Ronan."

Hmm...why would the highly respected Hollywood writer Anne Thompson mention Knightley getting snubbed if she wasn't eligible? Guess she doesn't know anything either. Maybe you should go straighten her out.
Wanna know how you get nominated for a SAG award fuck-nuts? You put up a 65 dollar fee. Now take your asshole self the fuck off my blog and stay off you fucking disease.
Crabbie
Well done Crabbie. This fucking loser has nothing better to do than to paint himself as the ultimate jealous jackass on your blog-- who's baby did you steal to piss this loser off, anyway? Never mind, some people just can't stand it when others have a life. You just proved the fucker wrong and that's all that matters.
I'm all for Ellen Page. Maybe I'm just going for upbeat-ness again, but it sounds adorable (almost as adorable as Michael Cera XD) and it could teach some people a lesson. Juno FTW!!! XD
