Thoughts?
Here are some of mine:
-Christopher Nolan: Snubbed again
-Hallie Steinfeld was not a supporting actress, but I guess they figure she doesn't have a chance to beat Natalie Portman
-Sad that Japan's "Confessions" didn't make the Foreign Film list
-Is there any way Toy Story 3 can not win Best Animated? After also being nominated for Best Picture?
What about you guys?
