I was going to write up a big depressing post on work, but instead:

Squee! Johnny Depp was nominated for Best Actor!!! Keisha Castle-Hughes for Whale Rider!!!

Am I mean and petty when I am kind of glad Last Samurai and Cold Mountain didn't get that much?

The others were more expected, although there was a lot more of Seabiscuit than I thought.

Sadly, I have no idea what's going on with the primaries. I am a bad citizen. But the Oscars, see, the Oscars excite me ;).

I've only seen Gladiator once, so this is not the most informed opinion, but I think that time I was just struck at all the violence and felt a lot of the style was artsy for the sake of being artsy.

Plus, I felt bad for Joaquin Phoenix for some reason -- sometimes movies or books hit me the wrong way and then I start completely rooting for the villain.
