The nominess are....

The nominees for the 79th Academy Awards were announced this morning, and 'Dreamgirls' leads the pack with 8 nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for Eddie Murphy and Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Hudson. Surprisingly, it did not receive nods for Best Picture or Best Director. 'Dreamgirls' has long been considered the front runner to win both those awards.
The nominees are:

BEST PICTURE: BABEL, THE DEPARTED, LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, THE QUEEN

BEST DIRECTOR: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Babel,) Martin Scorsese (The Departed,) Clint Eastwood (Letters from Iwo Jima,) Stephen Frears (The Queen) and Paul Greengrass (United 93)

BEST ACTOR: Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond,) Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson,) Peter O'Toole (Venus,) Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness,) Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland)

BEST ACTRESS: Penelope Cruz (Volver,) Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal,) Helen Mirren (The Queen,) Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada,) Kate Winslet (Little Children)

The biggest surprise on this list is that my erotic short film titled 'My Bum' isn't on the list for best picture OR best sound. It's a damn conspiracy to keep me out of Hollywood I tell you - I bet it's Brad Pitt behind this again, he knows my sexiness would knock him right out of the spotlight and I would just end up stealing Angelina from him (or kidnapping...same thing...)
