Have to disagree on the Annette Bening nomination. She was at her screeching worst in this one. If they felt the movie needed some recognition (and I'd disagree; it was a pleasant distraction at best) there were other better performances to call out.
Splitting the vote on DiCaprio and Eastwood is interesting since everything I hear is that in both cases one of the selections (The Departed for DiCaprio and Letters from Iwo Jima for Eastwood) are far superior to the other.
Nomad for original score is a bit of a cop since it won't play in the U.S. until next year but it does mean that two movies nominated this year somehow involve Kazakhstan. That is about as odd as the fact that two of the Foreign Language movies were made in the United States by English speaking directors (not that I have a problem with it; they fit, though I'd prefer the category be best non-English, non US/Brit production).
