Oscar Nominations

This year's list of Oscar nominations is interesting. For all of the hubbub late in 2004 asking "Who the heck is gonna get nominated this year?", the list of nominees seems to be pretty strong. It's interesting to me that Jamie Foxx is nominated twice--that doesn't happen too often, does it? "Collateral" is on my shelf, ready to be watched, but I did see "Ray," and he was pretty good in that. The Best Actor race looks really tight: maybe I'm wrong, but there's nobody in there that you can really dismiss out of hand, which is unusual for the Oscars.

That reminds me, I need to see "Sideways," too.
