I think I'm not surprised that it was nominated, but I wouldn't peg it for winning, and wouldn't vote for it winning myself. Though I think there's a difference between a good movie and a movie that's nominated for an Oscar.

I know Ellen Page won an Oscar for the movie, if that counts.

So obviously it was only nominated for the Oscar because of it's hype. That MUST be it.

Well, it has to do with art vs. entertainment, or so the Academy would say -- I'm not so sure I agree, I'm still waiting to be convinced. I was floored then LotR did so well at the Oscars -- to me, they were fantastic movies through and through, but I would never have expected Oscars to come of it. Same with Johnny Depp in Pirates (though of course, he didn't win.) People now are suggesting Iron Man for Oscars -- and personally, just based on trailers, I'd nom Heath Ledger. I think the line between art and entertainment is finally starting to blur a little -- the Academy is starting to get off its horse and realize what makes true cinema.

Ok buddy your obviously a fan of the movie..we all have our opinons. We are just stating that we didnt think it was "Oscar" material.
And like i said the story line itself was to far fecthed and to calming in a serious moment in a teenage life.

Ok so anything that is nominated for any award is an amazing movie? No I don't think so. Don't get all butt hurt over someone disagreeing with you on a movie.
Just like any other big awards ceremony it's all politics, sure it's a decent movie, but I have yet to agree with any of the top choices for films in the recent history of the awards.

Juno probably won't win the Oscar anyway.
