I find it humorous that Beyonce didn't even make the snub list! Wasn't there some big hoo-ha about this being her big shot for the little golden guy??
i completely forgot about that! and didn't she throw multiple hissy fits when jennifer hudson completely outshone/outsang her? i'm sure she's even more pissed now.
yeah - i used to like beyonce, but it seems like in the last year or so, she's become quite the diva. and i don't find diva behavior appropriate from anyone. so she doesn't get the oscar (or even all the kudos) this time around. it's not like she doesn't have world fame, a butt-load of money, and (at least, it looks like) a good, regular relationship with jay-z. shes's only what, 25? there will be other chances for her.

This is interesting - I saw an interview with Edward Norton today & they mentioned his "snub" for The Painted Veil- he said they let the movie out late & weren't in consideration for the awards this go round...

Is there a reason Bobby didn't make it for anything? I'm really dumb about awrds qualifications, so there could be, but it makes me sad that it's not up for anything. I thought it was great.
