Hooray for Carey Mulligan

Carey had won Best Actress at the BAFTA's for her performance as Jenny in "An Education". Let's hope it's an omen for the Oscars.

Was she nominated for an Oscar?

Ah, Carey Milligan. Well done. It seems like only yesterday, you were having one-sided conversations with a DVD Easter Egg.

Don't blink Patrick, but yes - Carey is nominated for an Oscar.

Hooray!

This creates a dilemma for me. While I think the world of Carey Milligan, I've had a serious crush on Sandra Bullock for decades. (Why she had to go an marry... him!... when I was available, is beyond me.) So now, who do I root for in the best actress category?

Sandra Bullock is odds on favourite Patrick.....

A very well deserved win, very pleased The Hurt Locker won best film too.

Challenging times ahead for you, Patrick.

I wonder if the fact Sandra Bullock got a Golden Razzie for Worst Actress in "All About Steve" yesterday will hurt her chances for a best actress Oscar tonight.

No, because the voting is already over!

You were right, C=O, the Razzie didn't hurt Sandra's chances at all.

Getting a Razzie and an Oscar in quick succession must be an interesting experience.

On the whole, and extremely predictable outcome from the Oscars.
