    Can’t believe Bruce wasn’t nominated after winning the other major music awards up to this point for The Wrestler. Also I think Mickey Rourke should win but we all know how the academy likes actors playing the lives of real people, i.e. Ray, Capote, etc. and now Milk and Nixon/Frost but one of the biggest snubs of an actor playing a famous person was for not awarding the Oscar to Russell Crowe for his portayal of John Nash in A Beautiful Mind, a truly wonderful performance.

    Please Acadmey in the name of God, if you want to salvage some shred of credibility, DO NOT award that piece of crap drivel “Benjamin Button” AND give Kate Winslet her award already! I am still shocked and angry Leo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood were snubbed. I plan to both email and write a letter to the Academy expressing my disgust at their idiocy.

    How in the world was Leo not nominated for Revolutionary Road? His performance was amazing! So was Kate’s! but at least she’s nominated for The Reader.

    It’s Certainly Going to Be The Greatest Blunder
    Of All Time if Heath Ledger is not given The Award..
    The Man who lost his life probably because of his spirit to Give An All time Great Performance in the Film. The Real Hero. Heath, We Fans Miss You More Than anything.
    Besides, In The Oscars,
    It’s Really shameful for the judging panel of the Oscar that The Dark Knight was not included in the Final Best Film Nominees..
    Really, We Fans Are Feeling Helpless Right Now..
    Help Us God..

    For heavens sake ! – Heath Ledger died of a drug overdose, he was a self admitted drug taker. He was not a good actor, most of his films were mediocre, at the best. He played a psychotic maniac in dark knight, which was not very hard to do. Give it a rest, and let a real actor take out the best supporting Oscar.
