Getting Ready for Oscar Nominations Announcement

As we gear up for Tuesday morning's announcement for the 2009 movie year, I've been following this person on You Tube. He's from Brazil, and he has many of the Oscar morning announcements. I picked a few of my favorites, when the press claps for certain surprises and such. It's great to see the evolution of the announcement from 1990 all the way to our Forest Whitaker announcer last year. Anne Hathaway will be reading this year, which is cool but some of the best have done it in the past. Take a look. Comment. Which is your favorite?

  1. It's difficult to revisit the announcement of the 2008 nominees and to see that everything I was hoping The Dark Knight would get instead went to The Reader. Oh well, it's in the past. But the rest of these are pretty fun to watch.

  2. I watched the other ones this guy posted on Youtube, and my favorite is probably the 2002 nominations. Mostly because Marisa Tomei is cute as a button. Also for the screenplay nomination for Adapation: Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman. Gives me a chuckle. Just like everytime Roderick Jaynes is nominated.

  4. Lol, the one with Salma Hayek is my favourite one. I love how she spontaneously leaped for joy as she read her dear friend's name out (Penelope Cruz).
