You sure Inglorious Basterds getting so many nominations? I thing it really deserves the best film award, but oscar people love to hate good old Quentin... PS: I think Christopher Waltz ought to win the supporting actor. And he actually has got a good chance.

I'm thinking "Home" will be nominated for best foreign language film

What about Matt Damon in the Informant! I thought his performance was Oscar worthy!

I dunno about 'An Education' getting a BP nod. Mulligan's nomination sure, but I'm not feeling the love on the movie itself.
