The Oscar nominations are out, with some huge surprises. Everyone
expected Return of the King to lead (eleven nominations), but few
people expected both Anthony Minghella and Cold Mountain to get shut
out of Director and Picture. Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Tom
Cruise also failed to get nominations. Some of the biggest surprises
are in the supporting actor/actress categories, but then you also
have Keisha Castle-Hughes from Whale Rider making Best Actress. And
whose nomination got the biggest round of applause? Johnny Depp for
Pirates of the Caribbean in Best Actor.
