That's RIGHT balolow

A few more plot-lines from this morning

Once again- Christopher Nolan was NOT nominated for Best Director, the only real SNUB, Inception, although favored in a few technical categories, had to make room for the crazed love for True Grit and The King's Speech.
The Coens themselves said they didn't want to take anything away from anybody else
TOO LATE
Some had the Coens being nominated for Director, but I don't think anybody short of the disappointed Inception detractors had Nolan not nominated.  These are the same people who probably would rather watch reruns of The Office than the Oscars.

True Grit received TEN nominations.  The expression on my face will now change from satisfied to annoyed.  I know True Grit has NO chance of winning Best Picture, but with all the love from the nominators, they must feel inclined to give it SOME awards.  Personally, I think it deserves none, and ten nominations is a ploy for a western themed awards show, Anne Hathaway will perhaps reprise her role in Brokeback Mountain.  I don't know which way the voters will go, but Hailee Steinfeld seems like the most likely bit of hardware the film has a chance of.

The King's Speech leads the way with 12 noms, not really surprising, Tom Hooper's historical piece was not as impacting as the other films, but will most certainly walk away with some awards.  I'm sure the SAG awards will push the film forward, but the eggheads who think Social Network is too shallow to win Best Picture will hopefully be exposed before the show.  I'm sorry, King's Speech is not the film to honor to lash at all the critics, the Academy already made that mistake with Crash in 2006.
I got all the nominations for Best Picture correct, but missed some acting nominations, but all my alternates got in instead, not very hard to predict and no real surprises.  PS, Ben Lyons, there is a reason you've been relegated to E! reporting, Natalie Portman is not a lock, and your jokes are not funny.  Your probably still shocked The Curious Case of Benjamin Button didn't win two years ago.

Finally, a Greek movie is up for Best Foreign Language film, GREECE!!!  Nothing like giving a country attention for the financial support it deserves by giving it Best Foreign Film.  If it wins, all foreign investors should be buying the Bank of Greece, hopefully dominoing into a rise of another great, creative film industry.  I have yet to see Dogtooth, but the category, especially over the last several years, has seemingly gone to films the Academy hasn't even seen.  The film probably doesn't have enough money to advertise for it's nomination, so I'll help out, GO WATCH IT, Mo'nique had enough trouble saying "foreign" announcing this film's nomination, so do your part as well.
