Heh. Despite what EW says, there's not really any need to see Shopgirl or Upside of Anger by Oscar night.

Upside of Anger features great performances by Joan Allen and Kevin Costner, as well as Erika Christensen, Keri Russell, Alicia Witt, and Evan Rachel Wood, who all deserved supporting considerations. Mike Binder also did a fine job, as well as writing and good script and providing solid direction.

Because Wedding Crashers didn't make it on many critics list and also didnt't get a WGA screenplay nom etc.

These are the ones I haven't seen - Syriana Transamerica North Country Memoirs of a Geisha Match Point Mrs. Henderson Presents The Squid & the Whale The 40 Year-Old Virgin Cache Shopgirl I'll probably see North Country & The 40 Year-Old Virgin on DVD before Oscar night and I'm seeing Match Point next week. I wish The Squid & the Whale would get a little bit of a rerelease. Anyone know when Shopgirl hits DVD?
