It's that time of year again! Yesterday, thousands of nominations were mailed to the Academy members, which let's us know that in just a few weeks, people will be gathered around the water cooler at their work, discussing this year's…(oops, I should still say 'next year's) Oscar Nominees.
Yahoo!News gives us this:
Accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers counted, sorted and numbered the ballots before the massive mail-out. Voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have until Jan. 12, 2008, to return the forms.
Nominees for the 80th annual Academy Awards will be announced Jan. 22. The awards will be presented Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre.
Despite the writer's strike, it seems that the biggest award ceremony will still go on. This will definitely be a show I will be watching, because it will either be fantastic or it will be a total and utter mess. (I don't want to miss that!)
So, let's pretend you readers are members of the Academy. Who would YOU nominate and what are your predictions?
User comment: By: Max McCormickWell, as far as actor goes, Daniel Day Lewis most definitely. He is one of my favoitre actors. And I think that this is going to really be his next oscar after the mindblowing "My Left Foot" in 1988.
