80th Oscars: the nominees
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has just announced the three nominations for the 8oth Academy Awards.
The nominees for Best Makeup are:
La Môme / La Vie en Rose
Didier Lavergne and Jan Archibald
Norbit
Rick Baker and Kazuhiro Tsuji
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Ve Neill and Martin Samuel.
The Academy Awards ceremony will be held on 24 February — unless it goes the way of the Golden Globes.
Myself, I’d have voted for 300 in preference to Norbit for a nomination, but I am cheering for La Môme (and Marion Cotillard) for the award.
By the way it’s good to know the Razzies have made some excellent choices with lots of nominations for Eddie Murphy and Lindsay Lohan. Having just watched I Know Who Killed Me on DVD, I can only endorse their assessment of it as the ‘most fabulously brainless movie since Showgirls‘ and echo their request: ‘Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?’
