Well, the 2008 Oscar Nominees were announced this morning with few surprises.

"No Country for Old Men," the Coen brothers' film about a brutal killer and laconic sheriff pursuing a man across the scrub of west Texas, earned eight nominations including nods for best picture, best director and best supporting actor (Javier Bardem).

The film tied "There Will Be Blood," Paul Thomas Anderson's movie about the rise of an oil tycoon, which received nominations for best picture, best director and best actor (Daniel Day-Lewis).

The drama "Michael Clayton," about a lawyer (George Clooney) undergoing a crisis of conscience, also did well, picking up nominations in five of the six major categories: best picture, best director (Tony Gilroy), best actor (George Clooney), best supporting actor (Tom Wilkinson) and best supporting actress (Tilda Swinton). The film received seven nominations overall.

Now, to the bad things:

Angelina Jolie was not nominated for "A Mighty Heart"... wtf

"Enchanted," the Disney film about an animated princess come to life, earned three of the five best song nominations. Among those left out was Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who wrote music for "Into the Wild." .... WTF x 2

Sean Penn was not nominated for "Into the Wild." .... wtf

To check the full list of nominations visit the Oscar's home page .

My picks are:

Leading Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis (although I would love to see Johnny Deep win!)

Leading Actress: Cate Blanchett

Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem (grrrrrrrrrr)

Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men

Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
