2009 Oscar Nominations Announced: No Dark Knight or Twilight

Posted by Anghus





It's a morning of mixed emotions here at #1FS as we were just told the Oscar Nominees by the Today Show. While we're excited about the awards show and the many big big stars that will be attending, we are rather perplexed by the nominations. No Dark Knight? No Twilight?

While we understand that a lot of Oscar nominations are political and a popularity contest, we cannot figure out why Twilight was omitted. While Titanic told a far less epic love story, it swept the Oscars back in 1998. Yet, for some reason, and even more awesome love story is completely abandoned for award pandering garbage like Milk and The Reader. We are awaiting the total list of nominees to see if Twilight was completely snubbed.
