My Nomination Surprises: Supporting Actress

i did the least well predicting this category. sure betty white was a long-long shot but one needs to dream and wish. at the same time there are three surprises here:

1. maggie gyllenhaal did get a nomination. this was 'the nice' surprise. i did not pick her but am happy the academy did. but julianna deserved it over her...but wait...




2. julianne moore did not get a nomination! duh! penelope cruz did? yet also deserved it over maggie.




3. penelope cruz got a nomination for 'nine'. i don't get it. she deserved it, and won, last year but not this time around. marion cotillard anyone? but over julianne?



soooo...maggie deserved it over penelope and julianna deserved over the two of them...oy!
