Hmmm. Really excited (and surprised) to see Casey Affleck and Across the Universe on the list, but other than that I'm pretty disappointed. My two favorite movies of the year (Into the Wild and 3:10 to Yuma) were almost complete shutouts. I'm happy Eddie Vedder at least got nominated but no mention of Sean Penn or Emile Hirsch (not to mention Catherine Keener or Hal Holbrook)?! Russell Crowe ignored for both 3:10 to Yuma and American Gangster? John C. Reilly, REALLY?! Charlie Wilson's War, REALLY?! (I feel like all of those nominations came solely from the star power of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts playing "serious" roles.) Clint Eastwood is nominated for Grace is Gone but not for directing, and no John Cusack?! And I've never even heard of The Great Debaters! *Sigh* Well...the race for Best Actor, Drama will be exciting...those are five very fine actors. A hearty congratulations from me to George Clooney, Daniel Day-Lewis, James McAvoy, Cate Blanchett, Jodie Foster, Johnny Depp, Ryan Gosling, Amy Adams, Ellen Page, Casey Affleck, Tom Wilkinson, Clint Eastwood, and Eddie Vedder. Those are my favorites.

NO Lost and hardly any Office??!! Booooo! I am especially dismayed by the omission of Matthew Fox and Dominic Monaghan, who both did amazing work in the last few episodes of Lost in the Spring. Katherine Heigl gets nominated again while Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh are ignored?! Hooray for Steve Carell! Hooray for Entourage! Otherwise, Hollywood Foreign Press, you deeply disappoint me.
