Your Turn

The Oscar nominations. Discuss. - I'm not surprised by the Gaga snub. I am surprised Kristen Stewart got nominated. My biggest shock is that We Don't Talk About Bruno wasn't nominated. Yes, the powers that be didn't offer it up for a nomination, BUT even back in November it was a much more popular choice than Dos Oruguitas. It would have been a lock for a win.
