• The Aviator cleaned up with 11 awards, which led the way this year.
• Million Dollar Baby earned seven nominations, including two for Clint Eastwood.
• Finding Neverland also earned seven nominations.
• Sideways earned five nominations. However, Paul Giamatti was overlooked. Again. I'm starting to think the Academy has a personal grudge against him.
• Jamie Foxx received two nominations, one for his work in Ray and the other for his "supporting" role in Collateral.
• Closer may have received 5 Golden Globe nominations, but it could only manage 2 Oscar noms.
• The Incredibles earned four nominations, but ironically may not be the odds-on favorite to win Best Animated Feature Length Film.
