Oscar nominations were announced this morning at 5:30 am pacific time. Chicago led with 13 nominations.

There isn't a good list to paste yet (the Oscar.com designers don't seem to know to avoid all caps -Update - I've pasted a list below). But there is a complete list and the nominations page with links to more detailed info on each nominee.

Daughter from Danang which was nominated for best documentary will air on American Experience on PBS on April 7th (I'll have a more complete overview of the nominated docs soon).

You can see Mike's Car which was nominated for best animated short on the Monster's Inc. DVD

The most amusing bit from an AP story (warning: this is a bit of a spoiler if you haven't seen Adapation):

Charlie Kaufman, a previous screenwriting nominee for "Being John Malkovich,'' scored a first of sorts. He was nominated for adapted screenplay for "Adaptation,'' along with fictional twin brother Donald, who shares the writing credit.

It was the first nomination ever for a fictional entity. In the past, filmmakers have received nominations under assumed names, such as Joel and Ethan Coen as "Roderick Jaynes,'' their film-editing pseudonym, or Robert Towne, who shared a screenwriting nomination for 1984's "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes'' under the name of his sheepdog, P.H. Vazak.

Academy officials say if "Adaptation'' wins, only one Oscar will be awarded, for Charlie Kaufman.
