And the nominees are...

The 79th Annual Academy Award Nominations were announced about an hour ago. It would have been nice to see "Children of Men" with more nominations, but I'm content with the nominations "Babel" and "The Departed" received. The number of nominations for "Little Miss Sunshine" was a welcome surprise. But "Dreamgirls", what the heck? Is it really that good?? I have a lot of movies to see before February 25th roles around. Top priorities are: Notes on a Scandal, Blood Diamond, The Queen and (sigh) Dreamgirls. Who's coming with?

The Nominations

I'm only one movie behind in filling out 8 complete categories already, two of which will be complete with "The Queen". I have a feeling I'm not going to be able to see a whole lot of categories this year; that makes me sad. :(
