The nominations for the 80th Academy Awards were announced yesterday, and the results panned out pretty much as expected. The year's two biggest critical darlings, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, led the field with eight nominations apiece, with Atonement and Michael Clayton right behind with seven nods. All four flicks received Best Picture nominations; the fifth slot went to Juno, which overall scored four nominations, all in major categories.

Regardless of the ongoing writers' strike, the Academy promises that there will be an awards ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 24.
