Best Film Nominees - A new record for me

[jjgittes]

Wow, amazing that I have actually seen three of the movies of this year's best film nominees. Agree highly with "The Artist" and "Moneyball" being nominated. But can not figure out the "Extremely Loud..." nomination. I mean the film is good for 15 of the 115 minutes so maybe that is all you need these days.

Also, I hear this b.s. outcry about "Bridesmaids" not being nominated. The wife and I saw it and though a nice, fun film that even a guy can enjoy, I still think any film that derives it's humor from diarrhea, fat girls being nymphomaniacs, and people falling into cakes isn't necessarily something that makes me lump it in there as a best picture. Then again, "No Country for Old Men" won and Bridesmaids was better than that over-glorified-what-the-he11-was-that-about movie.
