Sundance Day Five: Oscar Noms Announced

Salma Hayek and Academy President Sid Ganis announce the Oscar noms this morning, as all of the Best Actress candidates peer down. On with the show...

Oscar nominations were announced early this morning. Last year's Sundance favorite, Little Miss Sunshine, got a nod for Best Picture (sorry Dreamgirls!) as well as Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress (for Alan Arkin and Abigail Breslin, respectively), which will likely get some buzz twitching around Park City, and no doubt all the media types will be dishing the nominees. But otherwise, I expect the swag-grabbing shuffle and the movie-going madness will just continue on as per usual here today.

Check all the nominees here... They include indie favorites and other Sundance veterans like Forest Whitaker (a front-runner for Best Actor) and Ryan Gosling. And while Dreamgirls didn't nab a Best Picture nom, it's likely to produce the real winners in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories, with Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson.

My thoughts? I gotta root for Meryl Streep for The Devil Wears Prada. She's the only clear champ that I'm cheering for. It's hard to think of another nominee whose performance I enjoyed more.

Want some insight on who didn't get nominated? (Sorry, Borat.) Go here.

Let the buzz and serious statuette campaigning begin!



I'm thinking life imitated art this morning when Abigail Breslin's phone rang. Will she fare any better at the Oscar pageant? Ask Jennifer Hudson.

I love love love Meryl Streep. Both the book and film version of "The Devil Wears Prada" was fabulous!
