If if the truth as stated by Zhang, it is undoubtedly surprising, and they will face the double blow on their reputations and brand images.

That's almost THIRTY YEARS AGO. And Julia Child was an incredible turn. I think she should finally win again after all these years. She is unparalleled in her work ethic and abilities and deserves every nomination that she gets. How do we know how much Saldana put in vs. what the effects people enhanced? I thought Damon was good in Invictus, but I actually would have given Freeman's actor nod to Damon for THE INFORMANT which was a very funny, very nicely nuanced turn. Love Gyllenhaal, but not sure the script really gave her the same kind of meat that some of her other roles like SHERRYBABY and SECRETARY gave her. And I have to say, as much as Tarantino has an amazing knack for dialogue and good visual design, I find myself cringing just to get through the over-the-top/seemingly just for shock value violence he insists on littering his movies with. I'd love to see him try to make a good film without that crutch. Agree that 500 DAYS OF SUMMER was overlooked. But aside from Hitchcock never winning, the academy also gave the statuette to FOREST GUMP and as John Waters so aptly said, "I nearly lost my grip when he started running." My favorite film of the year: AN EDUCATION. Will it win compared with the monster that employed over 2000 workers and made a ton of money that is AVATAR, no. But I can dream.

Ridiculous, It's the performance that's the key and Saldana's was as good as any I've seen in years, if not ever.

Solarjetpro & Partick Star. Completely agree about Diane Kruger, she showed the world just how talented she was in Inglourious Basterds. Melanie Laurent was fantastic turn aswell, both handled Tarantino characters so well! I was suprised they weren't locks during awards season, (instead of some over-rated performances by some certain 'Up In the Air' actresses). I guess the Christoph Waltz factor simply over-shadowed them. SUCH A PITY. Zoe Saldana was actually quite good in Avatar and it’s a pity no one noticed her during awards season.
