I dont get why that Tomei thing is always used as "the blunder" given the academys history in basically every category. I thought she was a lot of fun in that movie. Unlike, say, Whoopi Goldberg who won the same award for what I felt was a downright annoying performance in Ghost. ugh.
I havent seen Precious (dont really care to either...), but I thought both the supporting roles in Up in the Air were superb. Im fine with the category this year.
