I am surprised on the nominations and which films were snubbed. I am surprised that "Bridesmaids" was nominated for two categories since comedies don't often get nominations. I thought the new "Winnie the Pooh" film would be nominated, my sister thought it was very good. What do you guys think of the nominations? Who do you think would win? The Academy Awards show will be on February 26th!
