The 84th Annual Academy Awards are this coming Sunday, so what better time to look back and reflect on some of the biggest nomination surprises for this year?

Well I am rooting for The Decedents. It was hard to find a theater to see it for a long time but now that I have, I say bravo. I was a smart, well acted, stunningly beautiful, and moving picture with a real story or should I say well woven stories. Best of all there was no 3D and we weren't bombarded with special effects or loud noises that blow out your ears. I find it totally refreshing to be treated to great acting, great writing, great directing, great cinematography, or should I just say great movie making that moves the audience.
The Help should definately be a winner what a great book and movie!
It was not let me submit a review for Sarahs Key because it was already reviewed as a book. But, this should most certainly received 2 nominations. One for best foreign film and another for best adapted screen play.
Don't get me started on the mess of a movie that One For the Money turned into. Way to take advantage of Stephanie Plum fans.I hope it wins lots of Razzie awards for those involved.
Those are some snazzy looking Blu-ray players!
who is Tilda Swinton. I don't live under a rock or anything, but by name I do not know her, and the movie - We need to talk about kevin - i maybe can remember seeing a preview for this? Onto things i know about - I am happy about the nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio and Kirsten Dunst. Overall I think that the people who vote on these things are largely a group of Older than 50 white males and I strongly feel that it does not reflect mainstream society's view, likes, or votes.
