Finally, this years Oscar nominees are announced. No big surprises. Pretty much what I had expected. Now the real nail-biting starts. Especially in the best director category, where once again two veterans of film making Clint Eastwood (who's won twice before) and Martin Scorsese (who holds the distinction of the most nominated director ever and not won anything). There is this weird feeling that Scorsese might win for The Departed, which is actually a remake of the Hong Kong flick Infernal Affairs (which I think is a far better movie). It would be a real shame if this happens because Clint Eastwood has a far better epic story in Letters from Iwo Jima. Anyways we have to wait a month to find out the results. Till then, may the best man win. (Picture from New York Times)
