And now for a movie-related post

No, films aren't really the Trash Lounge specialty but the Oscar nominations have been announced today so a quick commentary can't really go amiss.

Plus with all the Brits nominations being splashed everywhere it's definitley Awards Season so with these ones being pretty important it must be worth a bit of a look, no?

Here is a short list of four things that could happen at the Oscars this year, based on the nominations:

• Anne Hathaway could get an Oscar for 'Rachel Getting Married'. Wouldn't that be nice?
• Or Kate Winslet could finally win one for her brillllllllllllliant turn in 'The Reader'. This would also be another opportunity for her to piss off Angelina Jolie in her acceptance speech after the spectacular faux-pas at the Golden Globes ("Oh God I'm so sorry... Meryl... Anne... OH GOD WHO'S THE OTHER ONE... Angelina!", cue a seething I'm-going-to-kill-you smile from Jolie).
• 'Tropic Thunder' could end up being OSCAR WINNING.... because Robert Downey Jr is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for it. Obviously Heath Ledger will (deservedly) be the eventual winner but wouldn't it be weird if 'Tropic Thunder' picked up an actual Oscar?!
• 'Wall-E' could, and hopefully will, win Best Animated Feature.

But, shockingly, horrifyingly, 'High School Musical 3' will not be winning anything. No, nothing. Not even for Original Song, because only one track from 'Wall-E' and two from 'Slumdog Millionnaire' have been nominated. IT'S NOT EVEN NOMINATED FOR ANY RAZZIES! Cheese acknowledgement: EPIC FAIL.

The awards are announced on February 22nd. Full nominations are here.

Disclaimer: It would be a pretty big balls-up on the movie industry's part if HSM3 were to be nominated for an Oscar.
