Oscar Nominations

Here are the Oscar Nominations

Quick takes: Giamatti being left off is a big disappointment but the five nominees are all very deserving so someone worthwhile was going to be left off. I wish it had not been Giamatti.

On the plus side Kate Winslett, both Natalie Portman and Clive Owen, and Before Sunset getting a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination. These all make me very happy.

Schizoid nominations: How does Alan Alda get a supporting nomination for Aviator (which indicates huge support for the film) and yet leave the film off of some categories it needs to be on including Original score, make-up, and visual effects.
