Well, those were.......interesting?

LEO for BLOOD DIAMOND?

Seriously?

THE GOOD:
-I went 5/5 in both actress & supporting actress.
-Ryan Gosling is nominated, so Rachel McAdams will work that red carpet.
-Borat and Children of Men for Screenplay.
-Patricia Field's Devil Wears Prada work getting nominated. In case you don't know, present-set films NEVER get nominated for Costuming. Field's name did the trick.
-Paul Greengrass.
-Lots of Mexicans. Salma was so cute when Sid said Penelope's name.
-MARK WAHLBERG!!!

THE BAD:
-No DIXIE CHICKS.
-Dreamgirls fans are so pissed right now.
-Only 5 for The Departed?
-No Jack Nicholson.

THE UGLY:
-Leo for BLOOD DIAMOND????
-Just go away Clint.
-The most nominated film didn't get a Best Picture nomination?
-Dreamgirls' 3 song nominations? I've heard the music in this film, and, well.....
