Like I said in a previous post Milk had great chances for the Academy Awards, and managed to get 8 Nominations, including Best Movie, Actor In A Leading Role and Directing. Sadly there was no Oscar nomination for mexican hottie Diego Luna :(.
Heath Ledger got a completely deserved nomination for his performance as The Joker on The Dark Knight. Most people will say he only got nominated because how and when he died, but I couldn't disagree more. Heath Ledger's work was at it's finest and has great chances of winning.
Another nomination that made me happy was Penelope Cruz'. I really enjoyed Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Penelope Cruz along with her character are by far the best parts of the movie. I hope she wins.
And unfortunately Arráncame La Vida (AKA Tear This Heart Out) didn't make it to the Best Foreign Language Film nomination, even though it was within the top 11 foreign films. Arráncame La Vida, by Roberto Snider, is based on the novel by Ángeles Mastretta and tells the story of Catalina Guzman, a young, humble and naive girl from Puebla (my hometown) in the 1930's who marries Andres Ascencio a rich and macho army general politician and trough the years evolves into an clever, idealist and independent woman. Some historical facts reveal that the story is based on the life of Maximino Avila Camacho. If you ever get the chance to see Arráncame La Vida I really recommend you do it.
