Alright, I think I've calmed down slightly, but still The Blind Side, I think I would've been happier if the surprise nominee was The Hangover or The Jonas Brothers 3-D Experience (just kidding about that), but still it's not right. I find it odd that the only nominations it got were Picture and Actress, proving there wasn't any other conceivable place to nominate it. I'm just going to say it: it's the worst best picture nominee in the last 20 years, potentially even longer. Once it's stopped being remembered as a huge moneymaker, and the maturing side of Ms. Bullock, what left to remember about it? I'm not trying to be mean, but am I the only one who saw the freaking thing....it's not that good! Anyway, enough of that...yay District 9! And Inglourious Basterds! And The Hurt Locker! And Up! And Precious! And Up in the Air!
I'm starting to breathe normally again...
