Oscar Nominees Announced!

Nominees for this year’s Oscar nominations were announced while I was sort of sleeping, so I woke up to CNN’s news announcement! Kinda surprising on some categories, but take a look at the list yourself.

Thoughts? Marion and Julie Christie got a nod, so I’m freaking out, ha! It will all be decided next week in the SAG… but still then, it’s not for sure. Moreover, Ellen Page got a nod! I’m happy for her because I loved watching Juno, but I sure hope she doesn’t become my upset. If anyone should beat Cotillard, it should be Julie Christie. Oh yeah, one kind of a surprise was Laura Linney getting a nod instead of Angelina Jolie who had been getting a few more nods this season.

On the animated front, Persepolis against Ratatouille. Interesting who will win, I will give my vote to Persepolis but it’s most likely that Ratatouille will get this year’s Best Animated Feature, as Finding Nemo got it against Les Triplettes de Belleville.

Overall, La Vie en Rose got 3 nods (Best Actress, Best Costume Design, Best Make-up) while Atonement got 7 nods. But that wasn’t enough to beat No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, which got 8 nods each. People’s fave, Juno, got 4 nods… and Away from Her got 2 nods (including one for Sarah Polley, woot woot). Diablo Cody got a nod for Best Original Screenplay *woot woot*

The biggest surprise for me where the Foreign Film nods, which went to films that others haven’t even mention… which is great because it makes it really interesting to guess!!

Juno Luv

The last time I remember writing a review, it was for Golden Compass. This time I must express my luv for Juno… I instantly fell in luvvvv with the film, and we luvvv Diablo Cody for that. Ellen Page was superb as pregnant teen, Juno, though I admit Juno might be a little too smart to end up in shenanigans like that, but that’s besides the point. Ellen Page = Junoness.

Michael Cera is cute as Juno’s sperminator, while Simmons and Janney do great as the parents who don’t freak out… Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman appear as the couple adopting Juno’s unborn baby. Oh yeah! And I have to mention Valerie Tian as abortion protester/classmate Su-chin (who happens to be from Vancouver, woot woot).

Juno is enjoyable, well acted, and has a rocking soundtrack. It’s a must-watch for people, and it’s a must-have for me! Oh yeah, and how much did all those cute doodling-doodle-dos rock?

I leave you all with a kick-ass interview with Ellen Page from Curve online-mag.

Welcome to 2008! See Ya, Golden Globes!

First week of 2008 is done! Been catching up on many films, and reading news. First things first, Julie Christie seems to be leading the award season, closely followed by Marion Cotillard, and Ellen Page!

The big thing of this season is that Golden Globes will be reduced to just a press conference announcing the winners, meaning that if Marion wins the GG for Best Actress on a Comedy/Musical, she won’t be there to accept the award, and her moment in the spotlight will be shunned by this event.

On other related news, the striking writers seem to be closer to reaching a deal… that would be good for Oscar season… because Oscar is important to Amy. If there’s no Academy Awards this year, it will be the first year in 10 years that she misses the broadcast~~ well, in this case, I wouldn’t miss it because there will be nothing to miss!

I am mostly rubbish at Golden Globes predictions, but I’m pretty sure No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood will be among the winners… Daniel Day Lewis, or Viggo Mortensen, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard or perhaps Ellen Page? And Could Johnny Depp be there?
