2009 Oscar nominations

Quite a few surprises in here...nominations can be viewed in full here.

YAY!:
Melissa Leo, Richard Jenkins and the brilliant Michael Shannon get nominations - a great day for character actors

Josh Brolin: At last gets some award recognition after an incredible year.

Martin McDonagh lands a screenplay nom for In Bruges

Milk gets nods for Best Picture and Director - I was afraid it was just too gay for the Academy

BOO!:
The Reader - Best Picture? Really?? Ditto for its Best Director nod

Angelina Jolie - boooo!

No Sally Hawkins or Kristin Scott Thomas

WTF?:
The Dark Knight is totally snubbed in all major categories with the exception of Ledger as Supporting Actor

Kate Winslet is bumped from Supporting to Lead for The Reader - and ignored for her Golden Globe-winning/SAG nominated role in Revolutionary Road
