After this weeks Presidential Inauguration, it&#8217;s a little strange to suddenly have the next big thing occur so soon afterwards, and I guess everybody&#8217;s forgotten about the Nominations Announcement (they wont forget about the awards telecast next month though!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have a look at them, see which one&#8217;s you think will win, and which won&#8217;t. Admittedly, some of the below films have yet to see a big screen release here in Australia, however, taking that into account, over the next month, we&#8217;ll give you a little bit of our own ideas on who and what we think will be successful on Oscar night. <strong>Feb 22nd<\/strong>, (actually Feb 23rd here in Australia, by the time the show is broadcast!) is the date with destiny for the below listed features: so sit back and enjoy the countdown to cinema&#8217;s night of nights!! We&#8217;ll have our tips on the winners closer to the broadcast date, and after the event we&#8217;ll post the list of winners, and our response to yet another Oscar show, online in due course. Lot&#8217;s of fun and games coming your way!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, without further ado, here are the nominations for this years Academy Awards:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Picture Nominations<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Curious Case Of benjamin Button<\/li>\n<li>Milk<\/li>\n<li>Frost\/Nixon<\/li>\n<li>The Reader<\/li>\n<li>Slumdog Millionaire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Best Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0David Fincher &#8211; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<\/li>\n<li>Stephen Daldry &#8211; The Reader<\/li>\n<li>Gus Van Sant &#8211; Milk<\/li>\n<li>Danny Boyle &#8211; Slumdog Millionaire<\/li>\n<li>Ron Howard &#8211; Frost\/Nixon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Best Actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Richard Jenkins &#8211; The Visitor<\/li>\n<li>Frank Langella &#8211; Frost\/Nixon<\/li>\n<li>Sean Penn &#8211; Milk<\/li>\n<li>Brad Pitt &#8211; The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button<\/li>\n<li>Mickey Rourke &#8211; The Wrestler<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Best Actress<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anne\u00a0Hathaway &#8211; Rachel Getting Married\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Angelina Jolie &#8211; The Changeling<\/li>\n<li>Melissa Leo &#8211; Frozen River<\/li>\n<li>Meryl Streep &#8211; Doubt<\/li>\n<li>Kate Winslet &#8211; The Reader<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Best Supporting Actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Josh Brolin &#8211; Milk<\/li>\n<li>Robert Downey Jr. &#8211; Tropic Thunder<\/li>\n<li>Philip Seymour Hoffman &#8211; Doubt<\/li>\n<li>Heath Ledger &#8211; The Dark Knight<\/li>\n<li>Michael Shannon &#8211; Revolutionary Road<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Best Supporting Actress<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amy Adams &#8211; Doubt<\/li>\n<li>Penelope Cruz &#8211; Vicky Cristina Barcelona<\/li>\n<li>Viola Davis &#8211; Doubt<\/li>\n<li>Taraji P.
