Wow - I did not expect to see Inglorious Basterds on the BP nominees list.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooo. Nice to see The Hurt Locker get so much love. I didn't think Jeremy Renner would get a nod, though he totally deserves it.

hwæt
District 9 is even more of a surprise to me. Two SF films got Best Picture noms? Inconceivable!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
BTW - just saw Julie & Julia this weekend and LOVE. The movie is made of butter and LOVE.

And neither movie was Star Trek, some people thought would get on due to the expanded list. I didn't really expect it to get the nod, but I didn't expect District 9 either.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Me, neither. I understand the SA nom for Christop Waltz but not BP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I enjoyed the hell out of Star Trek, but really don't think it deserved to be on the list. Of course, I still haven't heard anything about Avatar that makes me think it should be on the list either, but that gripe isn't going anywhere soon.

District 9 has Peter Jackson cred, so it's not a huge shocker to me.
I'm pleased to se Up on the list, but since it's also up for Best Animated it doesn't stand a chance.

Because books.
I just saw Sherlock Holmes last night (LOVE) and RDJ was robbed. Man, that was FUN.

I'm kinda surprised Peter Jackson still has much cred after King Kong and the flat reception to The Lovely Bones.
