2008 OSCAR NOMINATIONS

Well, they're in ... How did the Lounge do in yesterday's post? Not that bad ... We got about 24/30 correct. That's 80 percent. Not the best, not the worst. Story of my life...

The biggest surprise? Angelina Jolie and Sean Penn snubbed and little-movie-that-could Juno coming in much much stronger than predictors may have thought. Think of it as this year's Little Miss Sunshine.
