No one cares? Oh well. Here are the Oscar nominations for those interested. Not many surprises. Until I see 'The Blind Side', I refuse to believe that Sandra Bullock gave an Oscar worthy performance. I mean, c'mon, Sandra Bullock? Really?! And why they've included 10 nominations for best picture is beyond me. It's all thanks to the public outcry last year about 'The Dark Knight', but I feel that listing 10 films makes a nomination seem less special.
