So, the Academy announced their Oscar Nominations today. And it’s all a bit unsuprising to be perfectly honestly though one or two suprises - am personally very suprised that ‘Juno’ got nominated at all.I’m predicting ‘Atonement’ will win practically every category it’s nominated it in.. it’s an absolutely dreary and vile film - though the Academy will EAT IT UP!

Really hope Casey Affleck wins the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ Oscar as he was fantastic in both ‘The Assassination of Jesse James..’ and ‘Gone Baby Gone’ but not a chance of him winning it unfortunately. Philip Seymour Hoffman will probably get it.

‘Once’ deserves the best ‘Original Song’ Oscar without a doubt, but disappointed that ‘Juno’ wasn’t nominated for it’s score (mainly contributed by Kimya Dawson).

Daniel Day Lewis has the ‘Best Actor’ in the bag.. and well-deserved as he was absolutely phenomenal in it. I now forgive him for his over-acting in ‘Gangs Of New York’.

Anyways, the nominations are below and the ceremony takes place on February 25th.
