Writer's Block: Missed it by that much

Here's the list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards.

Obvious omission: no Christopher Nolan for Best Director.

My thoughts:

Best Picture: The Social Network
Best Director: I don't think David Fincher can or should get this for TSN, so I'm going out of the box with Darren Aronofsky.
Best Actor: Colin Firth
Best Actress: Natalie Portman
Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
Best Supporting Actress: Helena Bonham Carter (I HOPE, although I think Melissa Leo has a chance and if they really want to go out of the box they'll go Jacki Weaver)
Best Animated: Toy Story 3
Best Original Screenplay: The King's Speech
Best Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network

The only really good thing I got out of this: James Franco is now an Oscar nominated actor, FUCK YEAH. Otherwise, I don't think this year is going to be a tight race, and I think Inception got shafted.

Scott Pilgrim got shafted in the visual effects and sound editing categories.

Emma Watson should have been an outside chance for HP7.1

I think all of the trio were amazing in HP7, and singling out Emma would be mean.

I agree about Scott Pilgrim, though.
