Like Oscar itself, this early morning tradition never loses its luster, at least for me. So, after much ado with security and the pushing and shoving of press not only to get to the feeding troughs of catered food but to grab a seat in the inner sanctum, Sid Ganis and Oscar winner Kathy Bates took to the podium (albeit a few minutes late) to announce the nominees for the 80th Academy Awards.<\/p>\n<p>If you happened to be on the millions watching the live announcement feed on tv, you probably heard quite a few gasps at some of the names announced (you may have had a few of your own), but I assure you, it was the water cooler talk after the announcements that gave way to some real debate. Talk about some firsts! Talk about the your surprises! Talk about your snubs!<\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat, the most glaring snubs are to Tim Burton and his masterful interpretation of \u201cSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.\u201d No Best Director nod. No Best Picture nod. The only saving grace is Johnny Depp\u2019s Best Actor nod, his third, as well as a tip of the hat to costume designer Colleen Atwood and art director Dante Ferreti. Needless to say, as I have raved about in my reviews, Depp, Atwood and Ferreti are my picks to take home that little golden statue in their respective categories.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve got to question the Academy\u2019s thinking with omitting Frank Langella in the Best Actor category with his tour de force performance in \u201cStarting Out in the Evening.\u201d On the flip side, it was a surprise to all that Tommy Lee Jones was added to the Best Actor roster for \u201cIn the Valley of Elah.\u201d Although a strong performance, Tommy Lee Jones is always a stand out and but for a few exceptions steps outside of the box into new, different and stretching. A real surprise in the Best Actor category is Viggo Mortensen for his portrayal of \u201cNikolai\u201d in \u201cEastern Promises.\u201d One of the nicest guys in this business, I am delighted that the Academy took note of his talent with this first ever nomination.<\/p>\n<p>And talk about first nominations! how about Hal Holbrook who after 60 years in the business finally gets a nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Ron Franz in \u201cInto the Wild.\u201d Well deserved, I was beginning to think Holbrook would only get Academy acknowledgment with a \u201cspecial Oscar\u201d sometime in the future for his overall body of work. I don\u2019t envy the deliberation where Casey Affleck\u2019s work is concerned this year. A toss-up between \u201cGone Baby Gone\u201d and \u201cThe Assassination of Jesse James\u201d, I think it was a good call placing him in the Supporting Actor category over Best Actor category as I think he stands a good chance of besting Oscar winner and two time nominee Philip Seymour Hoffman for his work in \u201cCharlie Wilson\u2019s War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of \u201cCharlie Wilson\u2019s War\u201d, noticeably absent from the list of nominees this year are Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. A film initially well received and popular, quickly fizzled when awards rolled around.<\/p>\n<p>A joyous and fun entry into numerous categories is the quirky little comedy \u201cJuno.\u201d A fave film of mine this past year, its star Ellen Page is a phenom and although I think the Oscar will go to Julie Christie for \u201cAway from Her\u201d, Page deservedly belongs on the slate for Best Actress. I must admit surprise though to \u201cJuno\u2019s nomination for Best Picture and for Jason Reitman as Best Director. Quite frankly, Ben Affleck did a far better job as a director with \u201cGone Baby Gone\u201d than Reitman and although he missed out with a nomination, the incredible Amy Ryan picked up a nod as Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Helene McCready. As I\u2019ve written earlier this year, she was transformative, convincing and amazing and she is my pick for Oscar gold.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, in the Supporting Actress column we\u2019ve got four first time nominees, Supporting Actors give us three first-timers, in the category of Best Direction there are also three first time nominees with Julian Schnabel, Jason Reitman and Tony Gilroy and interestingly, there are five first time nominees for Best Original Screenplay. And did I mention a new record has been set in Academy history with the four writing nominations for best screenplays being given to female writers!<\/p>\n<p>Dare I even mention the fact that multiple Razzie nominee \u201cNorbit\u201d garnered an Oscar nod for make-up? If it weren\u2019t for the fact it is for guru Rick Baker, I wouldn\u2019t . And thankfully, the summer blockbuster \u201cTransformers\u201d wasn\u2019t blown completely out of the water as it picked up two nominations for artfully blowing out our eardrums with its incredible sound mixing and sound editing.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing my penchant and appreciation for the technical aspect of film, I would be remiss not to mention Janusz Kaminski who grabbed a nomination for Best Cinematography for his work in \u201cThe Diving Bell and the Butterfly.\u201d You all know how much I have always and do admire Kaminksi\u2019s work but with \u201cDiving Bell\u201d he goes so far beyond his already high level of visual excellence to be almost ethereal. My suggestion to his fellow nominees &#8211; stay home February 24 for as far as cinematography, that night belongs to Janusz Kaminski.<\/p>\n<p>Over the coming weeks I\u2019ll take a closer look at our major categories of nominees &#8211; Best Actor &amp; Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress &amp; Best Supporting Actress, Best Picture &amp; Best Director &#8211; and give you a more in-depth look at the nominees together with some inside interviews with several of our contenders.<\/p>\n<p>According to Academy Awards producer Gil Gates, Oscar\u2019s 80th birthday will go forward despite strikes, pickets, protests, boycotts, fashion faux pas and anything else the world can throw at the little golden guy. As he recently told me, \u201cOh, I\u2019ve got a few surprises up my sleeve.\u201d I for one can hardly wait to see what they are!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already do so, go check out our Oscar nominees on the big and small screens. And fasten your seatbelts, it\u2019s going to be a bumpy 30 days as we head into the homestretch. The 80th Academy Awards. Live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. on ABC. I\u2019ll be there. I hope you will be, too.
