2008 oscar nominations

Well, here are the oscar nominations - seems like a very, very weak field this year. Guess I have to check out Eastern Promises and/or Michael Clayton even though I'm not a fan of Clooney or the guy who did Eastern Promises. Can't believe Blanchette is nominated for Elizabeth - that movie was very, very bad. Honestly, would vote for Depp for Best Actor, Bardem for Best Supporting, and really don't care about the rest. Think Sweeney Todd should have been nominated for Best Picture, but guess you have to pick Blood in that weak field. Don't think these awards deserved to be televised so hope the writers' strike continues :-) Can't believe Gone Baby Gone, Sweeney Todd, or 3:10 to Yuma wasn't nominated - don't think I'm watching this telecast - hopefully the SAG awards, Independent Film series awards, or the British film awards are better than this woeful field.
