I fuckin hate the academy, wooo-hooo for predictibility. there were some things that made me happy (no CG films in the animated catagory, and if any of those win i will be happy, History of Violence getting an acting award for William Hurt) but then there's Crash...fuck you, Paul Hagis, and Star Wars getting ass-raped out of an effects nomination, because "OHHHHH! LOOK A JESUS LION!" I like Narnia tremenously, but Episode Three had WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better effects...

i guess this is going to be a fun year for Wag the Oscars...
