How many people who are saying The Blind Side doesn't deserve to be there have actually seen the film?
Also, Rockwell is who was robbed of a nomination by Freeman, likely, Tequila.
In the prefect world there would still be 5 nominees and the 5 most deserving films (Avatar, Basterds, Up in the Air, A Serious Man, and Hurt Locker) would have been nominated. Instead we get those great and good films alongside utter shit like District 9, An Education, and Up. Though even if The Blind Side sucks there are still 6 good films to 4 terrible films, so I guess the system works mostly. Seriously though, those three films being recognized for anything other than mediocrity is a travesty. Obvi Avatar deserves to win, A Serious Man or Up in the Air should win, and Inglorious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, and Precious should be forgotten. The others deserve no love from anyone as they are all worse than Hannah Montana: The Movie, and likely are all worse than Hotel for Dogs as well.
Way cool to see In the Loop nominated, hope that can score a win.
