Oscar Nom Reactions (Unfiltered)

Initial reactions to watching the Oscar noms this morning:

Yay! for...
All the Michael Clayton noms
Go female screenwriters
Tommy. Lee. Jones.
Take that, Into the Wild
Best of all...recognition for Jason Reitman! Finally!

Groan...
Angelina Jolie's snub
Ruby Dee: I mean I'm glad the octogenarian still has some crack in her slap, but c'mon.
What a boring list of foreign film nominees, especially since there were so many great (though ineligible) foreign films this year
3 songs from Enchanted and only 1 from Once??
and that's about it. Pretty solid noms. They strayed away from my predictions, but toward my personal favorites.

My reaction was that it's a CROCK OF SHIT that Johnny Depp got nominated and I'm now harboring a really irrational hatred towards him. He wasn't just not Oscar worth in Sweeney Todd, he was freaking RAZZIE WORTHY. UGH UGH UGH.
