[Movie] ITE: LeHah Lists The Oscar Nominations For 2009

Did 2008 really suck that bad in terms of movies that they could only see a handful of movies deemed 'fit' to be nominated in nearly every single category?

I'm sure Button, Milk, Nixon are all good movies, but I remember the days where there was maybe one movie at the oscars that was nominated for more than five awards and that was it. Scanning down that list it seems this award show could just be called: "Which of these three movies wins the most? Oh and we have some other stuff too, but if Benjamin button had one scene of CG in it, oh you bet your ass we'd have it in Animated Achievement too."

Once again, not saying that the movies that were nominated more than likely don't deserve it, but I could have thought there were at least some other movies out there that didn't suck hardcore. I could be wrong though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just don't understand why the Oscars are so narrowminded when it comes to handing out nominations. Yes, I realize a lot of movies these days suck, but apparently the only movies that you SHOULD BE WATCHING, according to the Acadamy, are a bunch of high-brow, drama fests that are suppose to evoke emotions that you never even knew you had.

Wall-E would NEVER get a nomination for best picture because there are *gasp* humorous parts in that movie. And it seems the only way you can get an Oscar Nod for best actor/actress is if you're either playing a gay man, an oddity of nature, or you're a wash-up.

What I find EXTREMELY odd about this process is that the only real thing outside of 'drama drama and OMG BIG DRAMA' is RDJ's nomination for his role in Tropic Thunder. I thought it was hilarious, but why was he nominated? It wasn't a serious role.
