I haven’t seen all or even half of the films nominated for Academy Awards, so, I really have no room to talk.

But.

I’m still going to complain about the usual array of stuffy choices.

First off, original song and original score nominees annoy me. Why isn’t the band Spoon anywhere on the list? Spoon did an original song and score for “Stranger then Fiction.”  An awesome song and an awesome movie receive no nominations. Blah.

Why is “Borat” up for Adapted Screenplay? If there is a “Borat” novel out there, I’d love to read it.

Personally, I think “A Scanner Darkly” should be up for best animated feature of the year. 

“Thank You For Smoking” should be nominated for something. Couldn’t they just throw it a bone and nominate it for best adapted screenplay?

Ok, someone else should take over the rant. Who else was snubbed?
