Nominations are announced in about an hour. Feel free to post howls of joy or anger at the results. I'll post a full list once their done (unless someone beats me to it )

Please, please, please let this be Peter O'Toole's year. I don't care how good Forrest Whitaker is in The Last King Of Scotland, I just want Peter to win his first competitive Oscar.

I hope Steve Carrell gets a best supporting nod for Little Miss Sunshine, not very likely though I think. But then again there's also Jack for The Departed, we'll see...

I'll post a list in minute - but you got your wish gfiac
Mark Walhberg got nominated for best supporting actor - yay!
Looks like The Queen, Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed and Babel are leading the pack. Overall I'm pretty pleased.

Dreamgirls missed out?

I'm trying to follow the posts from Oscarwatch.com but they're so over excited that a lot of the posts aren't making sense.

EDIT: Yay for Peter! It's going to be hard to beat Whitaker though. Surely they can't deny a sick old legend for the ninth time.
