Biggest disappointments:
“The Dark Knight” and Christopher Nolan snubbed for Director/Picture. I feared this one. (See yesterday’s post)
“Revolutionary Road” snubbed for Actor (DiCaprio) and Cinematography (Roger Deakins)
Sally Hawkins and crew (Marsan, Leigh, et al) overlooked for “Happy Go Lucky”
Rosemarie DeWitt overlooked for “Rachel Getting Married”
Ralph Fiennes getting shut out completely, in spite of three great performances.

James Franco overlooked for "Milk" (I know, I know...this was a longshot, but between this AND "Pineapple Express" I was feeling a bit optimistic.)
“Frost / Nixon” still in the game with multiple major nominations. I still say the only award-worthy aspect of this film is Frank Langella’s terrific performance.
Nice surprises and validations:
“The Reader” for Picture, Director, Actress, Screenplay AND cinematography
Richard Jenkins for “The Visitor.”
Michael Shannon for “Revolutionary Road”
Screenplay nomination for “In Bruges”
Not surprising at all, but I’m happy they’re very much still in the game:
Sean Penn
Gus Van Sant
Meryl Streep
Anne Hathaway
Penelope Cruz
Viola Davis
And of course, Heath Ledger
