All in all, not surprising.
Blogs are buzzing about the snubs this year: Into the Wild (no Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Catherine Keener, or Eddie Vedder), Christian Bale (3:10 to Yuma or Rescue Dawn), Jennifer Garner (Juno), Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone). Here, here. Not to say that many nominees aren't deserving, and I haven't seen about half of the Best Picture films yet.
Congratulations to Hal Holbrook (Supporting Actor, Into the Wild), Casey Affleck (Supporting Actor, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), Ellen Page (Actress, Juno), Julian Schnabel (Director, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), "Falling Slowly" (Original Song, Once).
I do have to say that both No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood look incredible and affecting and I'm sure I'll end up seeing Michael Clayton before too much more time goes by. Is it really mean of me to say I was glad that Keira Knightley is not on the list for her performance in Atonement?
Anyone else have thoughts on snubs or praise due?

I really liked the move no country for old men - it was thought provoking even if the end was infuriating (it has the typical cormac mccarthy non ending basically)
but the movie was great, and so well done - the perfomances were absolutely amazing (here I would have thought a nomination for best actor) the filming spellbinding, and the writing perfect for it. it was just so extremely well done that it definitely deserved all the nods it got!
