    I've never heard of half that stuff. I live in a cave of coolness.
    Wall-E better get animated, that movie was so cute I almost puked.
    Ledger will probably get, or would have probably gotten best supporting actor because he totally deserved it.
    The rest, meh.

    Thank god the overhyped Dark Knight wasn't nominated for Best picture.
    Not that I care for Oscar winners at all (still love to watch the show), but at least they have that right.
    And while Wall-E was good and all, it also was overrated as hell. But the best of the nominated of course.

    Wow, couple of surprises in there, but otherwise predictable.

    After all of that hoopla the Academy made the composers of TDK go through, they didn't even get a nod for it?
