Okay, I've been defending previous award shows, and given the amount of strong films we've gotten this year 9, 10 or even 15 slots wouldn't be enough to avoid controversy. My major complaint is with the nomination of Extremely Loud and Inredibely Close for best pic. I'm sorry, but I feel that the real reason why it got nominated was because of how poorly its did when it tried to expand wide, so they're obviously hoping that the nomination for best pic will give it more attention, and the fact that it didn't get nominated at any previous awards show proves my point.
Other than that though, the nominations have been pretty similair to past awards shows. I'm not even that bummed that Deathly Hallows missed getting a best pic nomination, as after all the previous award shows snubbed it I wasn't expecting the oscars to be any different (though I still think that award shows should change their attitude on genre films, like fantasy and science fiction) I'm more dissapointed that Winnie the Pooh missed a nomination, as I thought that the only reason it missed a nomination at the Golden Globes was because of its length, something the oscars are much more lenient about (a feature film only needs to be 40 minutes long as opposed to 70 minutes at the globes) but I suppose it's nice to see a couple of slots go to films that can really use the attention (they got me interested in them, which is the best thing an award show can do) Now if they had nominated something like Happy Feet 2 instead of Pooh, then I'd really be mad.
