Director’s almost nailed it. I wish they had taken out Ron Howard for James Marsh for Man On Wire. That was some truly great directing. Hope Gus Van Sant gets the win for Milk!

In a perfect world the nominees would be:
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Chirstopher Nolan, The Dark Knight
Gus Van Sant, Milk
Sam Mendes, Revolutionary Road
Tom McCarthy, The Visitor
I have seen Slumdog Millionaire and I will admit that the films first hour is simply amazing, then the film falls in love story cliches that truly disappoint. I do not uhderstand the love for this film or the awards being showered.

Relieved to see Wall-E out of contention. Doubt absolutely deserves to be included…BUT not necessarily at the expense of the Dark Knight (not better than Doubt in my opinion, but not the weakest either). In my perfect world, the top five would be (without having seen the Wrestler, Gran Torino, and Frost/Nixon yet…)
1. Milk
2. Doubt
3. Changeling
4. The Reader
5. Slumdog Millionaire
–
6. Rachel Getting Married
7. The Dark Knight
8. Australia
9. Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Revolutionary Road and Wall-E were very disappointing films. Well, OK, Wall-E was adorable and entertaining, but not anything close to a Best Picture nomination in ANY recent year, for me. I was unbelievably underwhelmed by it given the slew of raging comments that it must get a Best Picture nod. How? Why?

All movies for men. What about “Rachel Getting Married” or “Revolutionary Road?” How can anyone see Benjamin Button and find any depth – weak acting by Brad, forced story. Ugh. It was so TRYING to be Forrest Gump and way missing the mark.

Everyone’s ranting about how animated films are always relegated to a separate category. But what about documentaries? They suffer the same fate. Some of the best movies this year were documentaries (American Teen, Man on Wire, Standard Operating Procedure etc.) and no one seems to care that they are also ignored.

Let’s be clear here. Darren Aronofsky who directed “The Wrestler” is a great director. His recent movie proves it as well as the movies “Requiem For A Dream” and “Pi” which he directed as well. My familiar beef is that only picking 5 people is so limited. When will 10 be the new 5?

Of couarse Heath Ledger was a major part of making The Dark Knight what it is but come on Christopher Nolan desearves some credit. To me it looks like Christopher Nolan has a good chance of winning Best Director and Heath Ledger has Best Supporting Actor in the bag. But I am not so sure that the The Dark Knight has can pull off with Best Picture. Nominated definently. Winning not so sure yet. But of couarse there is always a chance.
