The main HIGHLIGHTS, are in my opinion, the nod for

Best Picture for "Little Miss Sunshine" and Best Supporting Actress for Abigail Breslin as Olive. Read Cinephilia's "LMS" Review,
and the nomination of Ryan Gosling as Dan Dunne

(in the Best Actor category for "Half Nelson").

Read the "Half Nelson" Review.

The FAILURES include the absence of a nomination

for Maggie Gyllenhaal's excellent performance for "Sherrybaby".

Read "Sherrybaby" Review,
a more than deserving nomination for "Brick"

in categories Best Original Screenplay, Cinematography or Best Actor: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "Brick" Review.
"A Scanner Darkly" also snubbed i.e. for a Animated Feature Film nomination. "A Scanner Darkly" review.

"Sherrybaby" signing





Maggie Gyllenhaal Signs Copies of Her DVD “Sherrybaby” at Borders Books in Hollywood. Source: Celebritymound.com

German shepherd & Nordic hairdo


"Sunday at the dog park. My dog starts playing with a cute German shepherd that proceeds to hump him, without benefit of formal introduction or dinner. The owner and I intervene to restore civility and suddenly I'm confronted with sapphire blue orbs. Who else but Jake Gyllenhaal. Very sweet, drop dead hot, and very apologetic- although none was necessary. Our dogs just lived out my fantasy, by proxy. I say "WOOF".

"Maggie Gyllenhaal pulling out of a spot on Highland, just before Santa Monica. New dark gray Lexus, dealer plates, "Baby on Board" windowshade (though no sign of the wee one). Always thought she would drive something more Nordic, a Volvo or a Saab. Had Sienna Miller-style Golden Globes/Heidi hairdo. Even in a driveby, hard to miss her stunning complexion. Where's Jakey?"
