They're on oscar.com...the front page.

[OscarGuy]

The Academy's slow in reporting the nods and I can't seem to find them anywhere...

[Akash]

Yeah I really can't be mad about any of these since even the bad ones are offset by good signs.

Atonement is in but didn't get the most nominations, no lead acting nominations, and with no Director nomination, it's already out of the running for Picture.

Johnny Depp's wasted nomination is offset by no other major nomination for Sweeney Todd.

Cate Blanchett is in but Angelina Jolie is out and yes I am KICKING myself for pulling Linney from my predictions in favor of Adams.

[anonymous1980]

Johnny Depp's nomination made my day.

[FilmFan720]

My count is No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood with 8 a piece, Atonement and Michael Clayton with 7 each and Juno with 4.

[Bog]

So clearly Johnny Depp would be in for reading the phone book as Jones comes up and usurps McAvoy and Hirsch rather than him, apparently it's only a matter of time until he gets a statue, let it just please not be a shocker for this trash......

[flipp525]

Pleasant surprises:

Atonement and Saoirse Ronan making the cut (The supporting actress category this year is stacked with unsympathetic quasi-villains, huh?).

Ruby Dee!

Tommy Lee Jones recognized for The Valley of Elah

Laura Linney surviving the precursor shut-out to land a deserved nod for her fantastic work in The Savages.

Sarah Polley.

Disappointments:

Johnny Depp's nomination.

Jason Reitman for Best Director

Ambivalent:

Cate Blanchett's nod for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. The movie is not much to write home about but her performance is quite powerful. I'm really not screaming about this one.

[Akash]

Did There Will Be Blood get the most nominations? I counted nine.

[Penelope]

Do we know the Film Editing nominees yet?

Yes, all categories are up on oscar.com. Film editing has Bourne, Diving Bell, Into the Wild, No Country and There Will be Blood.

Ah, so this just confirms that the race is between No Country and There Will Be Blood.

[dws1982]

Into the Wild didn't even get in for Song. They just handed most of the category over to Enchanted, just like they used to in the Disney-animation heyday.

In the makeup category, we ahve Oscar-nominee Norbit.

[paperboy]

Laura Linney! Yay!!!

THREE songs from 'Enchanted'? WTF?

Do we know the Film Editing nominees yet?

Yes, all categories are up on oscar.com. Film editing has Bourne, Diving Bell, Into the Wild, No Country and There Will be Blood.

[dreaMaker]

I m very happy Tommy Lee Jones made it as a leading actor in In the Valley of Elah!

[Anon]

Yes, Persepolis got in!! Boo that Simpsons didn't get in!

And why do the nominations for Cate Blanchett for Best Actress and Johnny Depp feel like lazy voting? Surely, there were other, far more deserving performances to honor.
