The Oscar nominations are finally out. This year was a little different as they are normally announced on a Monday. Since it was MLK Day and Obama's inauguration was Tuesday, they decided Thursday was the best bet. Holding off until the following Monday would have put it to close to the end of January. Please gander at some of the noms and remember you can get a full list and a printable ballot at:
