Noms are out. Academy Awards® for outstanding film achievements of 2005 will be presented on Sunday, March 5, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland® and televised live by the ABC Television Network.
Also available at NYT with links to reviews, showtimes, etc.From the AP overview: The cowboy love story "Brokeback Mountain" led the Academy Awards field Tuesday with eight nominations. Three films were tied with six nominations each, "Crash," "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "Memoirs of a Geisha," though "Geisha" was shut out in the top categories. "Munich," which had fallen off many awards analysts' best-picture picks after a lukewarm reception, scored well with five nominations, including director for Steven Spielberg. "King Kong," directed by "Lord of the Rings" creator Peter Jackson, earned only technical nominations, losing out in the major categories. George Clooney picked up three nominations: as supporting actor for his role as a steadfast CIA undercover agent in "Syriana" and best director and co-writer for his Edward R. Murrow tale "Good Night, and Good Luck."

Whoa... Episode III wasn't even nominated for visual effects! I guess Hollywood really hates Lucas' guts by this point. It was nominated for makeup, however. |
