I was going to write some elaborate piece about the nominations but for the most part everyone saw all these coming and I haven't seen on the films nominated yet so I will just make a few comments.
Wow, I did not think the Academy would honor Melissa Leo at all. Now if she wins I'll truly be happy. Heath Ledger was good but not great and by no means the best of the year. Honors for the deceased should be meaningful, not sympathy votes. Both Man on Wire and Encounters at the End of the World were nominated and both were two of my favorites from last year. But I'm hoping Herzog pulls it off because his film was so achingly beautiful and poetic.
