I am not the best person to discuss the 2010 Oscar nominations because, as of today, I have only seen about 50% of the films that have been nominated by the Academy. I will say two things about YOUR nominations that I love. First, your inclusion of IN THE LOOP for BEST PICTURE and for nominating Peter Capaldi for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. IN THE LOOP is one of my favorite films of 2009. I laughed my way through the entire film. For me is was better than WAG THE DOG and as a polical satire it ranks right up there with DR. STRANGLOVE.
Peter Capaldi would be my pick for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR most definitely. He was incredible. The BEST performance of any actor or actress from 2009. So… kudos for both those nominations.
I also respect your nominations for the three animated films. 2009 was not the greatest year for films IMHO but, it most surely came through with the quality and diversity of its animated films. I hope you don’t get any flack from nominating all three of those wonderful movies just because they are animated. They were all, so far, in my TOP 20 films of the year.
That’s all the input I have for you but I thoroughly enjoyed reading your website and your nominations and there is validity and much thought in your choices.
Thanks, Whitney! Did you mean to post this here? Did you know you can reply directly to the post that you’re responding to?
Anyway, I agree with you about In the Loop and Capaldi (obviously), but I’m wondering if you’ve seen Inglourious Basterds yet. As great as Capaldi is I think Christoph Waltz might even be better.
Glad you agree with me about the animated films. It’s been a great year for animated films, and I didn’t even see The Secret of Kells or A Town Called Panic (which I’m told is great). I’m happy the Academy found room for Up in the Best Picture category - a result, I’m sure, of expanding the category to 10 films.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by!
