Very cool, Didn't Heath win his nomination? That's one hell of a performance to have gone out on IMO.

Wow, 13 for Benjamin Button??

 

[canibus]

was the benjamin movie that good?

 

[HYBRED]

was the benjamin movie that good?

It better be, to tie with movies like Mary Poppins and Gone with the Wind!

 

[Stavesacre21]

was the benjamin movie that good?

meh, didn't care for it.

I sure hope the reason Gran Torino isn't in any of those nominations is because it was considered a 2009 release...if not, WTF.

Benjamin Button was a great movie, I think it should have those nominations.
