And More and More Errata

I don't think I've ever seen fewer Oscar-nominated movies than I did this year. I saw Dreamgirls (my thoughts on that on are here). I saw the FX-nominated Superman Returns. And I think that's it. Pathetic.

So, since I can't really comment on the nominations, I'll respond to this meme, courtesy of Lefty Brown.
