Knee jerk reaction to Oscar noms.

Blah blah blah, some thought on the noms.

Wait, Clint Eastwood sneaks into Best Actor and not Paul Giamatti? Er, no.

Phantom of the Fucking Opera is nominated for Best Cinematography over Collateral.

I know nominating Jon Brion for anything is unrealistic, but is John Williams' third score for a Harry Potter movie really one of the year's best?

I am kind of amused that they snubbed Mick Jagger in the Best Song category.

Go girl from Maria Full of Grace.

Go Mike Leigh.

Yup, pretty damn obvs. I liked the Mike Leigh love and the Catalina whatever her name is from Maria Full of Grace shout out. Those were nice surprises. I think the big scam, even bigger than Giamatti, is the Collateral cinematography snub. Not only is it gorgeous, it's a landmark. Shrug. It won't be the first time the Academy shows just how clueless its members are.
