Algunas sorpresas en las nominaciones. Benjamin Button 13 nominaciones, Pe nominada, Revolutionary Road vapuleada espectacularmente…
Mi voto va para Mickey Rourke al actor, Heath Ledger al secundario, Kate Winslet a actriz, WALL-E claramente a mejor peli animada y puede que banda sonora y/o canción, Slumdog Millionaire a mejor película, los premios pequeños a Benjamin Button, The Class a película extranjera y tengo mis dudas a la actriz secundaria (que no creo q se merezca Pe, pero es su segunda nominación) y mejor director (que estará muy reñido entre Danny Boyle, Gus Van Sant y "espero" David Fincher), pero todos conocemos a la academia, y cosas más raras se han visto…
Sin más dilación, empecemos la lista.
