The list of nominees is out now. And, again, I've seen only a tiny percentage of the nominations.
Part of me really, really does not want to see The Social Network. Something about it just irritates me but I can't say, exactly, what that is. Maybe it's Fincher? I mean, it's like Ridley Scott getting praised for narrative capability - just plain ridiculous. Fincher got lucky with Fight Club, Seven was very pretty garbage, and I haven't seen Zodiac. But I could crap on a cracker and, in doing so, tell a story better than David Fincher. Sheesh.
Did catch The King's Speech the other night (review coming shortly) and can see why critics are messing themselves over it. And am going to catch Black Swan this week which my buddy John described as "Bunuel meets Argento."
