Woo hoo!

Virtually no Oscar expert had Mike Leigh making their list of the ten most likely nominees for Best Director. And yet:

Martin Scorsese for The Aviator
Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar [sic] Baby
Taylor Hackford for Ray
Alexander Payne for Sideways
Mike Leigh for Vera Drake

Similarly for Best Original Screenplay, where Mr. Leigh also received a very out-of-the-blue nomination. (The third Vera nod was for Imelda Staunton in the Best Actress category, but that was widely expected.) Good job, Academy.

Also, nearly as good, my man Michel Gondry received a Oscar nomination, although he pretty much backed into it.
