Oscar nods announced

Oscar nominations were just announced! There were a few shockers. Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Actress for The Reader. Apparently her people had campaigned for Best Supporting Actress in that role and Best Actress in Revolutionary Road. Poor Leo was snubbed again. I think the Academy has something against him.

Taraji P. Henson was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Benjamin Button. Love it! Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep got Best Actress nods. Michael Shannon was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a mentally ill man in Revolutionary Road. I thought he was excellent. Heath Ledger was also nominated for his role as the Joker in Dark Knight.

Slumdog Millionaire, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, Milk and Benjamin Button got Best Picture nods. Go Slumdog! The film received a total of 10 - count 'em 10 - nominations.
