Time for the obligatory Oscar nomination post. As usual, I've seen basically none of the movies nominated for anything. Two this year: Wall-E and Iron Man. There are four other movies I'm somewhat interested in seeing: Kung Fu Panda and Hellboy 2 (already in my Netflix queue), Waltz with Bashir and Slumdog Millionaire. Speaking of which, I think the most fascinating category is Best Song, with two A. R. Rahman songs from Slumdog... vs. a Peter Gabriel song from Wall-E. I expect Gabriel to win and I expect him to be (on some level) appalled that he's beaten out A. R. Rahman.
