I Could Stay Here, Become Someone Different. I Could Stay Here, Become Someone Better...

Cat Power - Colors And The Kids


So can we just quickly go over that the Oscar nominations this year are bullshit.

First off, how did The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button get 13 nominations? I liked this movie. I liked it a lot. But I didn't like it 13 Oscars worth.

And then, with a couple glaring exceptions, it's basically the Golden Globes 2.0. These exceptions, of course, are Kate Winslet not being nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and Bruce Springsteen not being nominated for Best Original Song, after both of these won the Golden Globe. That's upsetting to me.

And then I was saying to myself, "boy, I hope Milk does better at the Oscars than it did at the Golden Globes." But then I thought about it. Well it won't win Best Picture, or Actor, or Supporting Actor, and I can't imagine them giving it Director. So maybe it'll win one of the loser ones (Editing, Costume Design, Musical Score). But I'm feeling as if it can win Writing (Original Screenplay). Wait for it.
