Oscar Nominations Announced: Vedder Snubbed.

Didn't The Academy get the memo? The winner of the Golden Globe should at least get nominated for an Oscar! That's how it usually works, no? Well, at any rate, Into the Wild, got majorly snubbed for the 80th annual Academy Awards.

Eddie didn't get nominated for the film score or for Guaranteed as best song. Emile Hirsch wasn't nominated for best actor, and Sean Penn didn't get as much as a wink.

Hal Holbrook did pick up the nomination for best supporting actor for his role as Ron Franz in Into the Wild, while Jay Cassidy did also get a nod for film editing for Into the Wild. (who?)

Why not nominate ITW for best craft services in the filming of a motion picture? Huh?

I see that Enchanted got not one but THREE nominations for best song!? Um, seriously? Not one for my boy, Eddie, but THREE for that fruity family feel good foo foo movie?! Apparently The Academy has forgotten how to appreciate good, sophisticated art. (I did not actually see Enchanted)

I am happy about all the Juno nominations including Best Actress for Ellen Page (Perhaps we are related), Best Directing, Best Picture, and Best Original Screenplay. The soundtrack for Juno has also caused quite a buzz, and features several songs from The Moldy Peaches' Kimya Dawson. On The View yesterday, Kimya said that she and Adam Green (the other moldy Peach) got selected for the soundtrack because Ellen Page thought her character, Juno, would listen to them! I thought that was pretty cool. Watch video of the Moldy Peaches performance on the view, courtesy of Stereogum.
