The 80th Annual Academy Award Nominees were announced by Academy president Sid Ganis and Oscar winner Kathy Bates. You can find the complete list of nominees on Oscar.
Hollywood is in a bleak mood this year, and the Oscar nominees announced Tuesday morning reflected that state of mind. Awards heavyweights “No Country for Old Men” and “There Will Be Blood” lead the way with eight nominations each, including Best Picture and “Atonement” and “Michael Clayton” received seven apiece. That means that in a year in which no clear frontrunner for Oscar supremacy had previously emerged, none did today either.
Not that it will matter, if the writers strike bleeds into the Feb. 24 telecast. Because if that happens, only one thing about the Academy Awards is certain:
The rushed and tepid Golden Globes “ceremony” was a sure sign that the Oscars presentation could be in trouble, too.
The Oscars are looking a bit grim this year and not only because of the ongoing writers’ strike in Hollywood, but also because of uncertain result of Nominees selections.
Many says it’s a big surprise that Cate Blanchett received a best actress nomination for “Elizabeth, but “A Mighty Heart” snubbed. Also, we never thought it’d be possible, but we may now introduce Norbit as “the Oscar-nominated Norbit.”

Rollover to rate this movie
When it comes to bad movies, Paris Hilton is just an amateur, writes Joe Queenan.
THE release in the United States of Paris Hilton's The Hottie And The Nottie has revived the debate over the worst movie ever made. Because the film logged some of the worst receipts in history - $US250 ($273) per screen on opening weekend - there is a temptation to accord it the mythical status of such universally ridiculed films as Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes or Plan 9 From Outer Space, to welcome it into the dark, Bizarro World pantheon inhabited by phantasmagoric disasters such as Showgirls, Ishtar, Heaven's Gate, Battlefield Earth, The Postman and, most recently, Gigli and Swept Away.
So you always wanted to go to an opera but didn't think you could afford it? Here's an opportunity you may want to consider. Especially since it's as easy as going to a movie.
This weekend, San Francisco Opera will launch the first of six digital cinema presentations with a production of Puccini's rarely-heard "La Rondine" ("The Swallow"), starring superstar soprano Angela Gheorghiu. Like New York's Metropolitan Opera and Italy's La Scala, the San Francisco company sees screenings as a way to expand its audience.
