Will post predictions later.

Initial thoughts

- Lol Blind Side got nominated
- Cruz being picked over Marion Cotillard in Nine is such a joke. Cotillard was amazing.
- I like Up being put into the main category but its a bit obvious its gonna win best animated now lol
- Pleasant surprise to see District 9 nominated for the big one
- Tarantino and Reitman are in different categories so now they can both win screenplays. (argh golden globes)
