Topic: The OFFICIAL 2007/2008 Awards Race Thread Forum: JoBlo
A fairly satisfying set of nominees, nothing exciting besides a few pleasant surprises, but overall a predictable lot. THE GOOD: -Emile Hirsch's Best Actor snub may be disappointing, but the Academy compensates for nominating Johnny Depp and Tommy Lee Jones (this one sure came out of left field, but 'In the Valley of Elah' would've sunk to mediocrity if it wasn't for him), two of the 5 best leading male performances of 2007. -The Diving Bell and the Butterfly for Best Cinematography & Director. -The remarkable Hal Holbrook getting recognized for Into the Wild. Albeit in a small role, his acting moments were so heartbreaking that he basically stole the whole movie for me. -The love for There Will Be Blood, as mentioned by everyone else. -Atonement's nod (I thought for sure that it wasn't going to make it into the cut) for Best Pic. -Ratatouille had the best screenplay of 2007, glad to see it get in - and I hope to God that it wins in this category. THE BAD: -Jason Reitman. Best Director for Juno. O..K... What....the......fuck? -Transformers' technical noms....ugh. -Greenwood getting an unjust snub out of Best Score. -Emile Hirsch and Into the Wild snubbed in general
