Holy Fucking Shit!
Normally, you couldn't make me watch the Oscars by using toothpicks to hold my eyes open and shocking me with a cattle prod to make sure I'm paying attention. I'm not going to say the Academy got it right here. Frankly, I still don't care. But I'm beyond shocked that Juno's gotten FOUR major nominations:

Best Picture
Best Actress - Ellen Page
Best Director - Jason Reitman
Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

One more thing: enough with fucking Queen Elizabeth already. How many Oscar noms is Cate Blanchett going to snag for playing the same fucking person?

This is what the academy did with Little Miss Sunshine. Prove that it's still "hip and jiggy" by nominating some indie, then largely ignoring it statues. Little Miss Sunshine only picked up Alan Arkin's last year because if there's one thing the awards hate more than a feel good movies, it's black people like Eddie Murphy.

There's a good chance that Juno will pick up that screen writing statue, but compared to that chick from La Vie En Rose, Joel and Ethan Coen, and Daniel Day-Lewis? Not a chance.
