    So y'all are predicting a near sweep of the nominations for Slumdog? Odd how this movie has gathered so much momentum over the last 6 weeks. Best thing is it lets me say I've seen at least one of the nominations in every category. ;)

    The lack of a Best Picture nomination for The Dark Knight lowered my Oscar interest immensely. It's not that I'm a Batman fanboy - I just don't think most of these pictures are as good as last year's. I still don't see how The Reader made the cut. That's one for a future "What was the Academy thinking?" list.
