BOO. Charlie Wilson's War only got one nomination. BOO. XP

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

What I find amusing is that that awful "Norbit" movie is up for Best Makeup, and that's the film that more than likely cost Eddie Murphy the Oscar last year for Dreamgirls (it went to Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine).

*Reads over the list*. ..nope. I haven't seen a single one that has been nominated for anything.
