rose: welcome to the broadcast. tonight we begin with the oscar nominees that were announced earlier today. we ll talk to annette insdorf of columbia university, stephanie zacharek of salon.com, dana stevens a film critic for slate.com and tony scott, film critic of the new york times and co-host of the television program at the movies. i think it s between sandra bullock, a hollywood insider who never received the kind of acclaim being showered on her with the blind side. between the two of them. i think meryl streep is always such a camilleian. by the way, the past couple years, the oscar has gone to attractive women in deglamorized roles like halle barre for monsters ball and kate winslet in the reader. so the fact that meryl streep is made to look much dowdier than she is hashgs that may help her win. rose: with catherine bigelow, she takes a lot of care with looking at what s in that frame. you always know where one character is in relation to another.
