Academy Award Nominees...

Posted by mkuller on January 22, 2009 at 10:38:30:

...announced this morning.

What do you think?

No Dark Knight or Revolutionary Road for Best Picture.

Also surprised no nominations for Grand Turino such as Best Actor for Eastwood.

I haven't yet seen Milk or the Reader, but of the others I would say Frost/Nixon is better than Benjamin Button and Slumdog.
