Surprisingly good fortunes for JUNO.
TRANSFORMERS got more nominations than CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR and IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH combined.
Hooray for ONCE getting a Best Song nomination!
NO END IN SIGHT for Best Documentary? Surely they won't go with Michael Moore again?

"Crisply written" are the first two words that come to my mind.

New York Times headline: "Once she was accepting tips in her g-string, now she's accepting Oscars for her mantlepiece!"

This Is England is on my list aswell.

Atonement, which I watched yesterday, is not. The first hour's bizarre shifts in tone and perspective completely threw me, and I couldn't recover. My mind went something like this: "Ah, boring old wartime British upperclass ennui, how about that... Wait a second, isn't that a Ben Stiller-romcom-like plot device? What, it's a thriller all of a sudden? Now it's a war movie? And how come it's almost a decent movie whenever Ikea Nightley isn't on screen, and it's abysmal when she is? And get out of town with that attention-whoring long shot."
