My, Matthew McConaughey double dominated, one is Magic Mike. Is it Indie Spirit?! Brit Marling is best supporting female not lead female?

What a great list of nominees in BEST INTERNATIONAL FILM category. Bilge Ceylan is competing with Haneke and Audiard!!! Oh my god! What an excitement! Can't wait to see who will win the award. But I think it will probably Haneke's Amour. Although Ceylan's film is a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Dave is exactly right. Chbosky directed 4 corners of nowhere.

I'd have thought 'Ruby Sparks'' self-sabotaging final scene would have scuppered its screenplay chances.

I don't understand how Perks of Being a Wallflower is a first feature. I remember seeing The Four Corners of Nowhere in a theater back in 1994.
