Comments on: Oscars Nomination Surprises http://www.travelinlocal.com/oscars-nomination-surprises/ From Los Angeles to San Diego and everything in between Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:02:38 +0000 hourly 1 By: Doug McBride http://www.travelinlocal.com/oscars-nomination-surprises/comment-page-1/#comment-8756 Doug McBride Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:05:00 +0000 http://www.travelinlocal.com/?p=8815#comment-8756 Here's a shout of love out to danny84 and Laurel. Thanks for your comments! We flat out love them here at Travelin' Local, and we're hoping your thoughts will inspire more of the same from other folks. So... Any other shouts of support for The Cove (Best Documentary), Jeff Bridges (Best Actor-Crazyheart), The Hurt Locker (Original Screenplay), or Precious (Best Picture)? I'm a big fan of Food Inc. (Best Documentary), but that particular category is stacked with amazing films this year, so we'll see. Bridges does look like an early favorite for Best Actor, thanks to the Golden Globe win, and some heavy buzz. But hey, we all know anything is possible. The Hurt Locker seemed to get the snub from the Globes, even after taking many of the plaudits from film critics circles around the country. I'm in agreement that An Education is not really worthy of a Best Picture nomination, in light of some of the other possibilities this year. What's really on my mind though, is whether or not Avatar will clean house the way Titanic did a few years back. Any predictions? Here’s a shout of love out to danny84 and Laurel. Thanks for your comments! We flat out love them here at Travelin’ Local, and we’re hoping your thoughts will inspire more of the same from other folks.

So…

Not so sure that An Education is worthy of best picture of the year. I’m rooting for Precious, although probably doesn’t stand a chance up against Avatar.

Bridges should walk away with the Oscar. Original screenplay to the "Hurt Locker" would be nice to see... “The cove” should take best documentary. Bridges should walk away with the Oscar.
