On the Bagel Scale

It's Christmas morning in Hollywood.  The Oscar nominations are out.  All in all, pretty impressive.  A few head-scratchers, a few sad omissions.  Nothing for Ryan Gosling, so good in "Drive."  Nothing for "50/50."  On the bagel scale, 5 being the highest, here's the SJG reaction to the nominations.  It's an honor to share them with you now.
