So there you are. The results will be announced in March, so check back here (or your favorite news website) then. And am I the only one who hasn't seen (or even heard of) 99.9% of the movies nominated for Oscars? Most of them played nowhere near here, and there's no way I'm fighting Louisville traffic to see a movie about gay cowboys that can't quit one another, no matter how good it is. (I'm not a homophobe or anything, I just don't care.) I've also noticed that comedies always get the shaft at the Oscars too. Why the hate, Oscar? Does a movie have to be hoity-toity pretentious crap to get your attention? Is that how you roll, Oscar? And why the snubbing of King Kong for the major awards? Just because it's way too long and gets kinda boring in the middle doesn't mean it's any less good than movies nobody has seen like Crash or Good Night, And Good Luck. Stupid spiteful Oscar.
