I was secretly hoping that Steve Carrell would get a Best Actor nomination, but otherwise, I don't see any massive injustices in this year's Oscar nominees. One surprising omission: James Horner's spectacular score for The New World. I'm also a little astonished at the acclaim that William Hurt has received for his supporting role in A History of Violence, because his appearance at the end of the film radically upsets the movie's tone. (Maybe I was just distracted by his little goatee.)
