Oscar Nominations Announced

The Academy Award Nominations, aka The Oscars, were announced in the wee hours this morning. 5:30 am to be exact with a bleary-eyed Mira Sorvino reading the noms from LA.

Hmm, a couple of interesting nominations...

I bet the tension/friction has increased on the set of Desperate Housewives.
Not only did Teri Hatcher aka Skinny Susan not win a Golden Globe or a SAG award but then Felicity Huffman had to go and win both and get an Oscar nom. Serious jealousy.
If that's not enough to scratch her eyes out, then i dont know what is.
I bet teri stops eating and wins the 'i'm the skinniest' competition on set!

Also noteworthy, George Clooney and his three nominations! Hot and talented, you go old man!
You've come a long way from The Facts of Life.

And Matt Dillon? Is this a serious nomination? I just can't get over the fact that he's incredibly goofy and he acted like an a** (or rather like himself) in "There's Something About Mary."
