The Academy Awards nominees were released today, and my prediction is one step closer to becoming true. I've only seen three of the ten nominated movies (Inglourious Basterds, Up, and District 9) and none of those three were worthy of being Best Picture. Inglourious Basterds was pretty good, and Quentin did an excellent job of building tension and suspense, but it wasn't anything ground-breaking. Up was heart-touching and original, but I can't see an animated film winning a Best Picture award any time soon. And District 9 was interesting, but is probably a little too strange for the Academy to consider. Unfortunately, the unknown actor who single-handedly carried that film and improvised most of his lines wasn't given a nomination for his excellent performance.
For some reason it feels like this year they're making up for quality with quantity.
