Buzz posted the Oscar noms, which were announced this morning, but I figured I'd repost them here, for sake of conversation.
I am SO happy about some of these nods, especially:
Javier Bardem for supporting actor - TOTALLY deserves it and will probably win
Ellen Page for lead actress - she probably won't win but yay for her anyway
Juno for best picture - again, it's the underdog and probably won't win, but what an achievement
"Falling Slowly" from Once for best song - I really, really hope this wins over the songs from Enchantment.
Diablo Cody for the Juno screenplay - I think she's going to win for best original.

Nobody says it better than Lainey, do I'll let her do all the talking -- behold, her account of Brad Pitt at TIFF.
Via LaineyGossip.com:
There were probably close to 100 reporters and stringers in Toronto this weekend with only one assignment: to trail Brad Pitt. Where he went, what he’s doing, who he’s with.

I'm a big fan of the Coen Brothers. Raising Arizona, the Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou, the Big Lebowski...they're all favorites of mine. So I was excited to see their latest.

George Clooney is everywhere these days. We could think of worse fates to be saddled with. There isn't a more watchable cad than Clooney.

George Clooney has confessed he has no idea what his forthcoming film Burn After Reading is about.
The actor, 47, admits he is baffled by the plot of the “dark spy comedy” and when he tries to get an explanation from directors Joel and Ethan Coen, they just laugh at him.
He says, “I tell the Coens that I don’t understand it and they go, ‘Yeah… heh, heh, heh’.
