2008 Oscar Nominations

by Mr. Blunderson

I woke up this morning thinking there was hope for humanity, only to find that I live in a world where Transformers and Norbit are academy award nominated movies. We're really not that far from the society that Mike Judge envisioned in his satirical Idiocracy.

I've been jaded for years as far as the academy awards are concerned, but little things like this (especially when a movie like Zodiac was totally ignored) serve to help me care even less about that one night a year where Hollywood pats itself on the back showing the world how wonderful they are.

Give me a damn break.

afterthought - and since this is the second year in a row where one movie is nominated 3 times in the song catagory, is it time to shelve best song all together? Sounds like they are really reaching on these noms as it it is.
