As you’ve probably heard by now, the Oscar noms were announced this morning with predictable (and semi sexy) results.

Interesting: Heath Ledger nominated a year to the day after his death.
Bogus: Brad Pitt nominated, but not Leonardo for Revolutionary Road!
Strange: Springsteen’s tune for The Wrestler not nominated for best original song (it won the golden Globe) – but yay for the 2 excellent Slumdog songs!
WHAAAT?!: RDJ nominated for Tropic Thunder. Ha!
