79th Annual Academy Awards Nominations

Published by Kaonashi January 23rd, 2007 in News, Awards.

Well, here’s the list that we’ve all been waiting for. Find your crystal balls, grab a bookee, and start betting!

There don’t seem to be too many surprises. DiCaprio and Whitaker are safely ensconced in their Best Actor nominations; Murphy and Hudson are nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actress- wait, Mark Wahlberg for Best Supporting Actor??? I loved him in The Departed, but was it really worth the Best Supporting nod? And oh hell, Clint Eastwood’s nominated again. Why do I have a sinking feeling that they’re going to pick him and give Scorsese the shaft one more time? It’s not like they’re going to pick DiCaprio, so why pick Scorsese? Well, I guess we’ll just have to find out when the show airs on February 25th.

And what about you guys? What are your predictions? I admit I can’t really make any since I haven’t seen all the films represented in the nominations.
