Oh, and in a kind-of-related note, Heath Ledger died today. Kind of weird and random. You just don't imagine young famous people dying - especially in the middle of their career. And even more especially when they have a baby. Sad.

WooHoo 3 noms for Transformers ;)
Do you have any picks? I'd love to know.
Also have you seen Away From Her? Julie Christie is amazing. I must say now I am torn in the "Best Actress" between her and Ellen Page. Two very different roles, but great acting by both. Argh.
Good thing I'm not a part of the Academy - I'd spoil the ballots for sure!
I don't know yet, because I have a few left to watch... But I (along with the rest of the world) was pretty surprised at the Atonement snub! It was such an Oscar movie, other than the whole British thing. Interesting.
