Congratulations to everyone, but I must say that I didn’t care for Rob’s acting in his newest movie, Twilight. =\

On another note, Sweeney Todd has to win! That film was simply amazing!

I’m really squeamish about violence on-screen. But I still went to see “Sweeney Todd” because Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. It is the GORIEST film I have ever seen. I knew the basic story, but I had no idea there would be so much blood. VERY NAIVE of me.

I think all the people in Harry Potter should win, excluding Rob. I mean, he’s only in there for his Edward role in Twilight, not because he’s a good Cedric, like he was. I hope they all win, though, especially Mad Eye. He’s just a really good actor, and so is Helen Bonham Carter. And, I’m surprised they haven’t reconized Ralph Fiennes yet. He plays a REALLY awesomely twisted Lord Voldemort, which seems really hard to play. Good luck to all of our favorite movie cast who were nominated, good luck and best wishes!
