i can only imagine what diablo cody's acceptance speech will be like.
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."
I lost all faith in the Oscars after Little Miss Sunshine took best picture last year.
In what alternate universe did that happen?
upon closer inspection, NORBIT has more nominations than ZODIAC.yikes.
