Nominess for Best Picture
Any huge films make the cut? Well, not exactly.
78th Annual Oscar Nominations
It is hard for me to call which is my favorite award show: The Academy Awards or the MTV Movie Awards. Sure, the Academy Awards is a bit more 'serious' you have to enjoy MTV's fun with film; plus the parodies.
I found that the choice of each award show usually came down to one thing, Billy Crystal. When he hosts the Academy Awards I usually dig the award show more than MTV's. However, when he doesn't, I usually slide the other way.
This year we have the dark horse Jon Stewart (The Daily Show) hosting the show and he may just be incredible.
Anywho, on to the selected nominees for the 78th Annual Academy Awards.
