In Memoriam:
Actor Heath Ledger passed away today of an apparent drug overdose at age 28. He has been featured in great films such as 10 things I hate about you, A knight's Tale, The Patriot, Monster's ball, I'm not there, Brokeback mountain, and soon-to-be released The Dark Knight. He had a long career ahead of him, and he leaves behind his daughter Matilda with his ex-fiancee Michelle Williams. It was too early for you to die Heath, but I hope you are happier up there. RIP Heath Andrew Ledger (1979-2008).
On a lighter note, here is a list of the more significant Oscar nominations from The Associated Press:
1. Best Picture: "Atonement," "Juno," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood."
2. Actor: George Clooney, "Michael Clayton"; Daniel Day-Lewis, "There Will Be Blood"; Johnny Depp, "Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street"; Tommy Lee Jones, "In the Valley of Elah"; Viggo Mortensen, "Eastern Promises."
3. Actress: Cate Blanchett, "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"; Julie Christie, "Away From Her"; Marion Cotillard, "La Vie en Rose"; Laura Linney, "The Savages"; Ellen Page, "Juno."
4. Supporting Actor: Casey Affleck, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"; Javier Bardem, "No Country for Old Men"; Hal Holbrook, "Into the Wild"; Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Charlie Wilson's War"; Tom Wilkinson, "Michael Clayton."

6. Director: Julian Schnabel, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"; Jason Reitman, "Juno"; Tony Gilroy, "Michael Clayton"; Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, "No Country for Old Men"; Paul Thomas Anderson, "There Will Be Blood."
To tell you the truth, I haven't seen most of these, but I plan to once they are available at blockbuster or rogers. Who I think should win/will win are the following:
Best Movie: "Juno"/ "There will be blood", "Atonement" or "No country for old men"
Best Actor: Viggo Mortensen /Johnny Depp or Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Actress: Ellen Page or Laura Linney/ Mario Cotillard or Julie Christie
