The nominees for the 2006 Academy Awards have been announced.
As you would expect some films received the nominations they were expecting but there were a few surprises.
The Constant Gardener was pretty much overlooked with only the screenplay and Rachel Weisz receiving nominations.
George Clooney has received multiple nominations both as an actor in Syriana and as the director and writer of Good Night Good Luck.
Biggest surprise to me was the nomination of William Hurt as Best Supporting Actor for A History of Violence. I didn’t believe this when I first heard it because for me the one thing about the movie that made it less than perfect was his performance. I thought he was awful in that role.
