   Kristin Scott Thomas should have been included in the best actress category. I’m not sure who I’d have lefrt out. Perhaps Melissa Leo. But I havent’ seen her movie, yet so I don’t know if she’s as good as they say.

   Thrilled that Meryl WON!

   Meryl win the oscar!!!!!!!
   shes the greatest

   I do not understand the Winslet nominations. She should be Best Actress for The Reader. Revolutionary Road was a dud all around.
   If you haven’t seen Frozen River, DO — it was the standout at the Seattle Intl Film Festival, and deserved way more notice than it got.
