With 13 Oscar nominations yesterday, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" scored big. But just how original is it? Apparently not so much. Not only is it written by the same guy who wrote "Forrest Gump," it appears to be the exact same plot. Watch this.

If you want to remake a movie, just say you're doing it and go ahead. Once again, originality in Hollywood is a lost art.

I was more pleased than usual with the Oscar noms, none more so than the well-deserved nod for Robert Downey, Jr., and the best comic turn of the year.
I also agree with the noms for Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Man On Wire, Frank Langella, Frost Nixon, Ron Howard, and Doubt's screenplay. Heath Ledger had a lock the day he died.
I thank the movie gods that Dark Knight (Endless Night) did not get a Best Picture pick. Worst film of the year in my book.
The only Oscar snub bothering me is the overlook for Clint Eastwood's acting in Gran Torino. The girl in that also deserved a nod.
