Not one nomination for Moon *sigh*

District 9 was also mostly ignored.

Mostly ignored? It got best pic and best adapted screenplay nominations, neither of which it deserved, to go along with a few technical nominations. What else could it have gotten?

Everything else is boring.

I guess, but I'm happy with it. 4 Movies from my top ten got best pic nods and 2 other nominees are movies I also really like. So, I'm happy. I'd be ecstatic if it wasn't for the CINECAST!ing Blind Side.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Best picture has 10 nominees so it only half counts...  I really hoped it would get best director and actor nominations.

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.

Kinda funny how Best Supporting Actor transformed into Best Villain category.  Chigurh, Joker, and now probably Landa (not bashing any of the performances).

There just haven't been many great, small "good guy" roles lately. Not that I can think of anyway.

Pretty boring but if it hadn't been for the 10 noms A Serious Man probably wouldn't have been nominated.

Also, nominating Up for Best Screenplay is about equivalent to nominating Princess and the Frog for that category, because both of the scripts in those films are terrible. Hell, Avatar is more deserving of a script nomination than those films. FMF should have that Best Picture nomination. Anderson got robbed!

I think I'm just going to ignore FLY's comments on this thread today rather than take the bait.

FYI
Nicest Surprise... DISTRICT 9 for Best Picture
Biggest Disappointment... No Sam Rockwell

There was never any chance, but I agree.
