I'm watching for them, because I want to see if Johnny gets a nomination for Sweeny Todd.

He was ... I am seeing that on the weekend. I think he has a tough field. Viggo was outstanding in Eastern Promises and Daniel Day Lewis has the buzz with him already.

I didnt go to the Movies once last year....

**Sarah_Jayne** · 01-22-2008, 04:48 AM

It wasn't a fantastic year but there were some good things. Of course, most of them are only just opening in the UK.

Sounds like I have to see Juno.

I am not big on costume dramas or Kiera so I have put it off but I will watch it now just to see if it is any good.

Yep, heard a lot of good things about it. Didn't get a chance to watch it yet though...

**selena** · 01-22-2008, 06:10 AM

I am so uncivilized. I've only seen one movie off that list, and I only saw that because of who was in it.

**Zebra** · 01-22-2008, 06:14 AM

The long shot on the beach in Atonement is awesome. That shot alone is worth seeing the movie. Ending is a bit of a bummer, but the first 1/3 of the movie is very good.

**gornyhuy** · 01-22-2008, 06:14 AM

I haven't seen any of those, haven't even heard of a lot of them, and don't recognize half the actors names.

What the hell happened to me?

**JUSTB** · 01-22-2008, 06:19 AM

I am scared of Daniel Day lewis. He keeps playing these creepy intense characters.

As a card carrying film geek, I know I should probably see the movie, but I just keep getting English Patient flashbacks...but if I can at least geek out on a shot like that, it might not be a totally wasted effort...

**needlive** · 01-22-2008, 08:09 AM

Anyone knows why I'm missing from the list?

**AZSarah** · 01-22-2008, 08:12 AM

I have not seen any of the nominees for best motion picture.
I am going to see Juno this week though.

I hope Laura Linney wins in the actress category. I really like her.

**SykkBoy** · 01-22-2008, 08:12 AM

a couple snubs worth mentioning:

Josh Brolin - No Country For Old Men (I know Bardem is getting all of the praise and deservedly so, they should just give him the statue already) but I think Brolin's work was overlooked as well...if we don't give a shit about his character, than Bardem's character doesn't have the impact he does...most underrated performance of the year

Gone Baby Gone - best picture and another nod for Casey Affleck (hey, if Cate Blanchett can score two noms in one year, so can the younger Affleck brother, hehe)

Allison Janney - Juno. Ellen page is getting all of the accolades, but I just really liked the performance Janney gave as Juno's stepmother....

**AZSarah** · 01-22-2008, 08:16 AM

And Marion Cotillard was amazing in La Vie En Rose. I would like to see her win for that.
A win for either Laura Linney or her would make me happy. I don't particularly care about the rest of them.
