Title: Take 2: 2009 Oscar nominations

" I'm -- earth and Wesley Morris and it is the date of the Oscar nomination yes -- honest and analysis. And you get to stop talking about Barack Obama and move on -- everything -- thinks things it really matter aunt so oscars so the big winner. With thirteen nominations was the curious case of Benjamin button the other big winner -- one -- millionaire -- ten nominations. The big loser. If you will as the Dark Knight which was nominated today -- was nominated but did not get nominations for best picture best director best adapted screenplay. And there -- some other surprises there Sally Hawkins and nominated for best actress which many people much yes. There's some there's some good surprises as well. I'm Michael Shannon and getting nominated. Bird is crazy deeper performance in in admirably and basically. Sort of giving him the finger -- you well. The movie and did the -- machine and write -- most satisfying was revolutionary. All except collect and deserved it. He's the least characteristic being -- mountain. Is often speak to him. And it's good actors could sound surprised Melissa Leo for frozen American actress she acts the last now trophies in Hollywood and get the best actress when she gets on the stage everybody in front vibrant. Hello Richard Jenkins for the visitor. Great character actor and leading role he was nominated for best actor which. Means Melissa Leo rejecting -- to to like. Entering anchors who never get enough respect and an entertainer and you know -- Janet finally get. Recognized -- there -- work. I'm -- the nominations this year to be really interesting. For what's there for what's not there I think it I don't know whether or not. The academy was really willing to. And go to that don't please the Dark Knight got no idea I think well it hadn't been based on comic book and -- people -- in -- they would have. Get over that genre. I think it's maybe genre -- also wonder whether or not whom he shifted and now. Socially politically culturally. From for a movie like milk to that are marked the times -- really unpopular better. I don't see something about. The world we live and according to the people who vote. I think -- I think it's much easier for the academy voters to embrace a movie like milk. Meaning to the best picture but to embrace it -- then it movies. In any season would -- the dark night. Because of its roots in comic books because. And because it involves people running running in cost and that's just. The Oscars are out and I don't know I don't know pregnancies and beat you like that was based on literature literature and -- I also Award you know rewarding Peter Jackson for the update peculiar effort it took to make that. Three down. Series whereas. You know the the Oscars is about. -- not representing what we think is the best movies that representing what we think the world. What we want the world to think about us it's that lets -- always -- And so pop movies when I was surprised that was at bat I didn't even get nominated you know ET Star Wars doesn't own nominated is the lost --"

" I just I think but I do think it goes. -- and I mean just reading tea leaves again see an aside from -- actually actually what it says to me is it. Union between a movie like like that -- like wall. -- just hope it. Ideas of what America and the world. Can be -- in the senior that we elect Barack Obama I don't know what you lakers if McCain at one. Acting Dark Knight probably I don't think I wish you -- I think it would if needed some kind of different in terms of how the homeless."

" I do but I still think Dark Knight or -- made it best picture don't think academy voters can engage. Eight what they perceive as a genre movies for kids for teens -- you know carrying serious ideas -- and that's you know their loss we'll talk about another category which is. Best supporting actors which is the best category absolutely nothing that we got Marisa Tomei for the -- that we've got two actresses from doubt viola Davis and Amy Adams. Helping her no secrets from Vicky Cristina Barcelona and the head it is it our fifth nominees. It is. To our audience in Brighton under management and human race. On and I because usually many of us have been following for number years and door and efficacy again and yes all black Americans -- their hands -- it counts corner when Americans -- That's wealthy shutting I would say that he's you -- am happy for how things -- generals. I don't see currently you know and -- Talking about new words. He'll be there -- kind interestingly Kate Winslet is not one of the nominees in this article it is currently points to -- it's a curious way of slapping on Wednesday. -- reward him by. Not. Nominating. It was in the readers as a supporting open and operating -- where she actually belong rest apparently to and a performance. It's it's two lead before. And you can't the strategy was to. Get your two nominations one to keep her from competing with yourself what for the Golden Globes and it's around netcam or did she easily performance and the reader. Is supporting performance that's ridiculous but the academy for wireless and scientists. To reverse that and things must recognize that readers but also recommend the best picture nominee yet the read here yes and there's the matter of the readers south the phenomenon the readers I video clips director nomination and Aaron are announced he doesn't for the wrestler and and I mean the the random variable this year Islam -- millionaire. And best picture category a lot of the categories although the irony is at the front seriously you know -- the when -- probably stands the best chance of actually winning this picture."

" What's interesting to measly despite my -- in differences and Mikey is the movie to need answers. It's the most alive feeling -- and of the nominees absolutely I mean except for milk out some things very -- any seeing it get like those three best. The answer that song nominations and -- score nominees ever Aaron its its prominence is is really. Exciting remember the music from that in the end and who Bruce Springsteen completely yes I mean I think this I think the academy. Becoming go in terms of how -- Much they want to acknowledge the world beyond Hollywood in some ways and I think it. You know often going to do this and recognize and read it sort of reflects their own doubts which -- and some absolutely -- doesn't take it away anything from -- in my opinion on but won't be won't be doing. Predictions and -- at some future date for those of the Academy Award nominations. Reasonably contact her and Wesley Morris but."
