Oscar Noms

Bloggin' from work today. Oh yeah.

After King Kong was pretty much shut out of the pre-Oscar awards, I knew it wasn't really going to be a player, but I'm still disappointed it didn't even get any major nominations. It did suffer from what I think is a pretty strong field (and I haven't seen Brokeback or Capote yet, who seem to be the two biggest winners in terms of noms), particularily in films of the type that tend to win awards. But I still would have liked to at least see it get a nod, especially for PJ as best director.

Also, did anyone else notice that none of the best picture nominees have a corresponding best actress nomination?
