The documentary : Roman Polanski: Wanted & Desired did not get nominated. The Oscar short list was released a few weeks ago and it was not on it...unfortunately. They were robbed!
I think that Wall-E should be nominated for best picture. I just saw Revolutionary Road and was disappointed in the movie as a whole. Although the acting was fantastic, the movie didn't live up to what I was expecting. So i would knock out RR and put Wall-E in there. Wall-E was a beautiful film.
I just don't see Sally Hawkins getting a nomination in the Best Actress category. She's charming but the movie is about nothing. I would put Michelle Williams in there instead, but of course there's no budget for advertising that movie.
'Down To Earth' (Peter Gabriel, Thomas Newman) - WALL-E
'Gran Torino' (Jamie Cullum) - Gran Torino
'I've Thought I've Lost You' (Miley Cyrus, Jeffrey Steele) - Bolt
'Jai Ho' (A.R. Rahman) - Slumdog Millionaire
'The Wrestler' (Bruce Springsteen) - The Wrestler*
Is that five "credit songs"? I think it is, although I'm unsure about Gran Torino. Everyone is doing the same thing. I think it's extremely foolish, EXTREMELY. To not predict one song that is in the main part of the film *cough* Dracula's Lament or anything HSM3 or Repo!*cough*
