 Print This Article |  Email This Article

The Oscar nominations are here and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is leading the pack with 13, including Best Picture, Best Director (David Fincher) and Best Actor (Brad Pitt). It’s great that Heath Ledger was nominated for his work in The Dark Knight too. Of course The Dark Knight didn’t get a nomination for Best Picture or Best Director. It broke worldwide box-office and sales records, but instead we’re treated with Milk, a show that is as thrilling as it sounds.
