Springsteen snubbed :

 

[The Sage]

Taraji P. Henson deserves that Best Supporting Actress nomination. I'm probably the only one who doesn't get the Slumdog Millionaire hype...

 

[scifiwolf]

I'm glad to see Robert Downey Jr. got the nomination for Tropic Thunder.

 

[danoyse]

Springsteen snubbed :

That's ridiculous.

 

[The Chris]

So They diss TDK, they diss the Boss, they fall all over the reader, which from I hear not many liked. There's no reason to watch this. Slumdog's gonna win. The only film I felt could beat it isn't in it. No point to watch at all.

 

[danoyse]

I'm disappointed TDK wasn't nominated either. It really deserved it. At least they remembered to nominate Heath.

The Springsteen snub is completely unbelievable, though.

I predict the Oscars will lose credibility. Even more.

I couldnt care less about TDK, but Springsteen has been beating everyone in the Original Song category on the road to the Oscars thus far, how did it not get a nomination
