I don't have the energy to comment in depth about the Oscar nominations, so I'm just going to do highlights here in a kind of stream-of-consciousness style. Here goes:
Gyllenhaal? What are you doing here? That's a pleasant surprise!
Cruz?! WTF?! I heard Nine blew! See if you can exchange your nomination for a gift certificate. Raincheck?
Damon! You made it!
Lead Actors and Actresses: Here, just as expected (glad to see you came through unscathed, Dame Helen; you're one fine sexagenarian).
Honestly, do you need more than this to vote for Dame Helen? (OK, ignore the man behind her, pay no attention to Taylor Hackford! Just focus on her suppleness, her warmth, her beauty, not Harry the Henderson behind her.)
District 9... I guess I have to watch you now.
The Blind Side: You must have paid off people for that nomination. Either that, or Academy members are seriously THAT amazed and surprised that Sandra Bullock was in that lifetime movie that somehow made it to multiplexes across the country. 
Yeah, I saw it and, I admit, I enjoyed it but, Best Picture nominee? I'm gonna have to think about this.... I mean, when you think of best picture, you don't think of this sort of movie. Then again, if Steel Magnolias were nominated for Best Picture, how would I feel? Touché.
This is only the beginning, my friends.
