Hollywood got up early this morning as the nominees for the 80th Annual Academy Awards were announced in Los Angeles. There is still a questions as to whether or not the 2008 telecast will proceed as planned due to the ongoing writer's strike or if it will be handled as the Golden Globes were a few weeks ago.Nonetheless, Rober Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, calls this year's nominees list "one of the strongest fields in recent years, reflecting the surge of superb films starting in September."
The pack was led by the Coen Brothers "No Country For Old Men," and "There Will Be Blood," starring Daniel Day Lewis, both of which carried eight nominations. Cate Blanchette is nominated twice this year, for best actress in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," and for best supporting actress in "I'm Not There," where she portrayed Bob Dylan.
On the other end of the entertainment spectrum, the Razzies were announced this morning, honoring the worst films and performances of the year. Lindsay Lohan was nominated in the worst actress category for her role in "I Know Who Killed Me." Previous winners, or losers as it were, in this category include Oscar winner Halle Berry who accepted her Razzy for Catwoman, in person.
