Anyone else wondering where Mila Kunis is for best supporting actress in Black Swan?
The best picture awards seems to be a tight race this year. Personally speaking I think True Grit, Toy Story 3, Black Swan, and Inception are the top of my list. I wouldn’t even be able to decide from there. Would it be the only animated film to make me cry? The first sci-fi/dream related movie to make me wonder how 1 scene was even shot? A western remake for a guy who absolutely loves westerns? Or a movie that made me feel a little bit crazy all the way through. These are great nominations, and I’m sure after the Academy awards February 27th, we’ll have plenty of coverage on the outcomes!
