We can dream, but it'll never happen. It'd be too out there and risky and engaging, all of the things that the Academy claims to want to be in order to engage with today's film fans, but none of which it would dare commit to. They'd be too embarrassed, and afraid of being laughed at.

Still, it would be worth it to see what the long-term prognosticators would make of the decision, if it were actually made - people who objected to Juno's nomination and laughed off the idea of a Christopher Nolan nomination, who are already uncomfortable with oscars "populism."

Ah well, such is life.

Looks more like "Iron Man and his Amazing Friends." But then, I do like Robert Downey Jr. Especially that final jab at the Hulk.

Looking forward to it, I must say.

I saw it and I really liked it. Not perfect (a little too campy in places) but well-made, entertaining and clever.

Speaking of awards, congratulations on being shortlisted for the Irish Blog Awards. I've said it before, but it's a great resource you run here.

As corny and hokey as the premise is, I'm looking forward to it. If only because Moon was one of the best movies of the past few years.
