Best Screenplay – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire

Best Picture – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire

I would say that I am only including the two categories above because they matter most to me (and that is mostly true), but it’s more because I can’t type real fast (75wpm). That’s what thoughtful blogging does to a person ;)

It’s true on the screenplay category though. I’m always most interested in that one. Been wanting to see Benjamin Button for a while, as well as Doubt, and now I’ll have to add The Reader and Slumdog Millionaire to the list. The latter has been catching my eye in the few commercials I’ve seen for it. Frost/Nixon…eh. Maybe.

Whoa. Just realized that there was no Gran Torino on there. That’s a shocker, right? I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s on the top of my list right now. I love Clint Eastwood. Nume laughed at me once when I told her that, and I understand, but it’s a guilty pleasure. In retrospect, she may have been laughing at the fact that I chose to spend hard-earned dollars on The Complete Dirty Harry. I don’t have much more to say about that. Only, gratuitous nudity much? Yeesh. Didn’t know all that was in there. That’s what I get for only watching these things on OKC’s Channel 34 on Saturday afternoons.

    For some reason the image of Clint Eastwood singing in Paint Your Wagon was what jumped in my mind when you said that. Sorry — I think I was laughing more at him than you! What kind of person has images like that popping into her head?? “I talk to the trees, but they don’t listen to me…”

    But then…I also wonder what unspeakable things did it take to push a man out of his musical longjohns and into Dirty Harry?
