  • The nominations for the 80th Academy Awards were announced this morning, and I'm surprisingly happy with the results. Atonement, Juno, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood are the Best Picture noms, with only Atonement not getting a Best Directing nod as well. I had a lot of problems with Atonement, and I thought Michael Clayton was a straightforward movie with good acting, but I wouldn't complain if any of the other three won. My only major disappointment: that Johnny Greenwood's fantastic score for There Will Be Blood was disqualified for Best Score. (20) #

  • Ebert picks his top ten films of 2007. Juno, which I haven't seen yet, is #1. I've seen only No Country for Old Men (#2) and Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (#3) so far. Damn small cities. (11) #
