The Oscar Noms are In

No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood lead the pack for the Oscar nominations. The show is set for February 24th, and the WGA still refuses to let their writers work on the Oscars. So, it’s now up to the actors, will they cross the picket lines, or won’t they? This is the biggest night in show business to some. Oh the drama.
