22 Jan 2009
It's that time of year again: Oscar nominations! The 81st Academy Awards nominees were announced today, and here's my scoresheet:
Category # seen Best Picture 12Best Actor 01Best Actress 0 Best Director 12Best Screenplay 1 Best Adapted Screenplay 12Another banner year here at Plutor.org for seeing movies in the theaters. I've seen the entertaining but overrated Slumdog Millionaire and the fantastic and completely deserving WALL-E. If (as I hope) I see The Wrestler and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in the next month, that'll give me 5 more points.
How'd you do?
Update Jan 26: I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button this weekend. I have to say, neither of the Best Picture nominees I've seen have really blown me away. Both this and Slumdog Millionaire were good movies, but I don't think they'd have made the cut if they were made last year.
