And the nominees are...

Oscars announced this morning!

I've seen Slumdog Millionaire (go see it please), Milk, and Tropic Thunder. I'm really going to try and see the rest of the pictures before Oscar time. I'll keep you posted and review them here if anyone cares. I'm not really sure if I want to see Frost/Nixon? I'm a political junkie and this movie seems tiring and a bit boring to me. We'll see. (The trailor with Frank Langella who plays Nixon asking if "he did any fornicating last night?" huh? Also, tricky Dick? I don't think so)
