Carpal tunnel day.
Have a lot on my plate today. I’ve got to complete my Superhero pages, two freelance articles, and a music review.
Before I get to work, Oscar nomination day is damn near a holiday in our house, so here are the 82nd annual Academy Award nominations, just announced this morning.
I’ve copied the screenwriting nominations below.
Adapted Screenplay:
Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, District 9
Nick Hornby, An Education
Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci, Tony Roche, In the Loop
Geoffrey Fletcher, Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire
Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air
Original Screenplay:
Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
Alessandro Camon and Oren Moverman, The Messenger
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, A Serious Man
Bob Peterson, Pete Docter, Tom McCarthy, Up
I’ll post my thoughts on all of the nominations tomorrow, but my immediate reaction to the writing nods was to be completely stoked to see Up made it and utterly flabbergasted that A Serious Man is there.
