2008 Oscar Nominations

What do you know, the Oscar Nominations came out. I forgot all about it because didn't really see any films that resonated enough with me to care what rewards it gets or not. Below is a list of the top awards, with my random selection of who might win. I would do a should win thing but I haven't seen most of the movies nominated this year.

The awards are scheduled for February 24th, but the WGA has already indicated they will boycott the event and SAG has agreed to do the same. Unless something gets worked out, I am not sure what there will be to air.
