Oscar Nominees

The 81st edition of the academy awards is up February 22 2009, and the official nominee list has been released. Benjamin Button has been the leader in nominations with 13, in what I consider to have been a pretty good year in films, even though I havent seen the movie. To many peoples surprise, Olvier Stone's W was widely forgotten, maybe because it was too soon to nominate a movie involving George Bush...

Some great movies were made this past year and all of them have many people wondering who is going to be the best... at least of the movies that I have seen I'd say WALL-E is by far the best of them, however the Academy usually doesn't nominate animated films for the best movie category (so sad), but hey, in the end the academy is just somebodys opinion....

The nominee for best animated feature is also a really competitive category, since WALL-E is probably going to take it, however Kung Fu Panda and BOLT are also amazing movies made this year.

The supporting actor nominees are really tight, specially since we have Heath Ledger's powerful performance as the Joker before he died last year. However he is fighting for the award with Robert Downey Jr. who did an amazing job as a dude disguised as a dude paying another dude in the film Tropic Thunder, and in my opinion deserves the award as well...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, as already mentioned was the most dominant in the categories with 13 nominations including Best Movie, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, the star of the film is Brad Pitt as many of you know... his wife Angelina Jolie however was not forgotten by the Academy as she is nominated for Actress in a leading role for her performance in the film Changeling.

Some of the best films made this year in my opinion include:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, W, Frost/Nixon, WALL-E, The Wrestler, In Bruges, Bolt, Kung Fu Panda, and more.
