Yes, I woke up at 5:38 am to watch Anne Hathaway read the nominations. I'm generally pleased. In particular I'm excited that my two favorite films this year, Precious and An Education, received Best Picture nominations.
Disappointments: Samantha Morton not making the list for Supporting Actress; no Best Picture nom for The Messenger; no music nomination for Bright Star; only one nomination for A Single Man (Best Actor, Colin Firth); zip for Where the Wild Things Are and The Road.
Congratulations to openly gay nominee Lee Daniels (Best Director, Precious)! Daniels is also nominated in the Best Picture category for his work as co-producer of Precious.
I did pretty well with my nomination predictions. I went five-for-five in Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor; three-for-five in Best Supporting Actress; and nine-for-ten in Best Picture.
I can't wait for Oscar Sunday, which just happens to fall on my birthday this year!
