As much as i liked "Juno", the film is way overrated by critics and the academy. It doesn't deserve as much of the praise and nominations it's getting. "Sweeney Todd" deserved more recognition from the academy, as well as "Gone Baby Gone". Hopefully "No Country for Old Men" will go home with a butt load of statues.

Atonement is so overrated - It does not deserve to be there!! Hopefully No Country for Old Men wins a few, its a very good film! Javier Bardem for supporting and Transformers for visual effects!

Go Juno

I am extremely disappointed at the Oscar snub for Sweeny Todd as Best Picture and Director; it's one of the best films I saw last year. Thankfully Johnny picked up his 3rd Academy Award nomination and has a strong chance of taking the statue home.

i hate that Hans Zimmer refuses to go for anymore oscars. His music is superior. Its pleasure to my ears

Those are the best score nominations I've seen in years. Alberto will win it. Gotta love the duel nomination for Deakins as well, that was an easy one to call. He'll win for Jesse James.

Does Enchanted really have 3 of the 5 nods for best original song? That's ridiculous...but no one cares about original songs anyway
