I'm glad Benjamin Button got nominated. I loved every second of it.

If anything, it should win Achievement in makeup..

I just read that the Oscars pretty much snubbed Batman Dark Knight. Whats the deal with that? Is that really true? If they did it was bogus because it was the best since the first Batman with Michael Keaton in my book.

I wouldn't call 8 nominations a snub. I will however say TDK got screwed in a few areas. One, an idiotic technicality regarding the number of composers caused one of the best scores in years to be disqualified. Second, TDK was epic, there's no denying that. Not just any director can handle it, I think Nolan deserved that one. Third, I can already tell you that Benjamin Gump(I stole that from the SHH! boards, it's funny) is going to steal a lot of TDK's Oscars. Deservedly? That movie was beyond boring, the only people who deserve Oscars for that are the people who sat through the damn near 3 hours of it.

The disqualification was reversed. It just didn't make get nominated.
Alert: The Academy reverses itself on "Dark Knight" score

Well, then that's just downright horse honkey!

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

There wasn't one crapping, so I just picked the one with the horse anyways.

I wouldn't go that far. I have a feeling that it got a lot of nominations but it's not going to take very many home. Just a hunch.

If Button takes best picture i will be so upset, I will boycott.

Why would they watch? I am sure MTV is playing something fabulous at the same hour.
