82nd Annual Academy Award Nominations

The Oscar nominations were announced this morning with no real surprises. The ceremony will be held on March 7th and will be broadcast on ABC. I posted a list of the nominations after the jump if you're interested, but my predictions are below.

Best Picture - I hope it goes to The Hurt Locker or Inglorious Basterds, but there's some tough competition between Avatar and Up in the Air. And in a long shot I would love to see District 9 win, but it won't, but I'm glad they got the nomination.

Best Actor - I'm not too sure on this one since I haven't seen these movies, but I would like to see Jeff Bridges win this one.

Best Actress - I'm pulling for Sandra Bullock on this one.

Best Supporting Actor - If Christoph Waltz does not win this for Inglorious Basterds I will boycott the Oscars.

Best Supporting Actress - I honestly have no clue when it comes to this category so I'm not even going to try.

Best Director - I hope Kathryn Bigelow wins for The Hurt Locker, but I have a feeling James Cameron may walk away with this one. And my longshot pick is Tarantino.

Best Animated Feature - I hope UP wins this one, but a lot of people seemed to give Coraline a lot of praise, I found it kind of boring.

Best Original Screenplay - I think The Hurt Locker will get this one also, but possibly Inglorious Basterds.

Best Adapted Screenplay - Up In The Air will most likely win despite the fact that I have a hard-on for District 9.

Best Foreign Language Film - The Milk of Sorrow only because the title sounds awesome.

Best Film Editing - I think if District 9 can pull out one award it may be this one, it definitely had the most creative editing out of all the nominations, but again, Avatar may take it as well.

Best Documentary Feature - I've only seen Food, Inc. and wasn't too impressed so I'm not sure what to make of these nominees.

Best Art Direction - I think Nine or Avatar will take this one.

Best Cinematography - Either Avatar or Inglorious Basterds

Top 30 Comedy Movies From 2000-2009

I've done it with horror movies so I figured it was as good a time as any to rattle off my top 30 favorite comedy movies from the last 10 years. Before you continue on to the list just remember that this list is based on my opinion so if you don't agree, good for you. I already know a lot of people will think I'm crazy for leaving movies like Zoolander off the list, but honestly that movie was just unfunny and dumb. So with that being said let's get to numbers 30-26 with 25-1 coming after the jump. Enjoy and feel free to leave your opinions on the list or let me know if I forgot a pretty obvious one.

30. UP! (2009) (imdb)

29. Idiocracy (2006) (imdb)

28. Waiting... (2005) (imdb)

27. Team America: World Police (2004) (imdb)

26. Reno 911!: Miami (2007) (imdb)

DVD and Blu-Ray Releases for November 10, 2009

Today belongs to the animated hit UP, if you haven't seen this movie yet I would highly recommend it. Other than that it looks like there's a special edition of WATCHMEN coming out today and not a whole lot else. I know I will only be purchasing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 today so the DVDs and Blu-Rays will have to wait a bit. What are you guys picking up today?
