Red Carpet oscars2008.jpg At long last - the list of Oscar nominees has been unleashed!

There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men led the pack with 8 nominations each, followed by Atonement and Michael Clayton with seven.

Juno also picked up several key nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Ellen Page, and Best Original Screenplay.

Best Actress proved to be perhaps the most interesting category - not only did Angelina Jolie not get a nomination for A Mighty Heart (remember, she's been racking up nominations for her performance), but Cate Blanchett's the only non-first-time nominee!

Of course, there's still a shadow of uncertainty hanging over the awards show courtesy of the striking writers. While the Academy confirmed that there will be a ceremony on February 24th, there's still no word on how everything's going to go down.

Screw Christmas - Oscar season is the most wonderful time of the year!
