The Coen Brothers should have won for Fargo.

Oh, and John Dykstra is one of my personal heroes, despite the fact he worked on the visual effects for Caddyshack and Batman & Robin. But he vas just folloving orhrders!

So I just read Sweeney Todd has nothing in for best song, and I instead have to watch all these terrible showtunes from Enchanted. What are these people thinking?

Alan Menken is like Woody Allen. He kisses up to the AMPAS. They have to give him a bunch of nominations.

I don't think Sweeney Todd would qualify, because technically, the songs aren't original for the film in which they were portrayed.

Some of them were. I remember reading that at least "My Friend" was original.

And even if they weren't. I'd rather have them nominated than this Enchanted...crap.

I'm glad I didn't see Enchanted. The songs are terrible.

It's interesting how The Bourne Ultimatum was the only film in the series to get any Oscar nominations, let alone Oscar wins. (It just won for Best Sound Editing, probably means it will win for Best Sound Mixing, as well.)

Transformers should have gotten sound editing.

I'm going to stage a coup.

you win!!!

I think Transformers should have won Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing.

I guess neither ILM nor Skywalker Sound win this year. (I was shocked when ILM won last year for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but it was well-deserved.)

And when Ellen Page and There Will Be Blood lose their big awards I'm going to suicide bomb the Oscars.

That's what I said when Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith didn't get a nomination for Best Visual Effects!

I am suddenly reminded of the train wreck that was the Spike TV Video Game Awards...

I missed that. What happened?

Oh, I was referring to Jon Stewart and some other chick playing with the Wii on the big screen. The Spike TV Game Awards was pretty much a console glorification ceremony where Crysis got the shaft.
