To check the TV and other categories nominees go here. Winners will be honored on Saturday, February 7th at simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York.

I’m glad that Waltz with Bashir found its way into these awards and somehow I feel that probably the Academy Awards nominees will look very similar to the above. Perhaps my only surprise will be to see Woody Allen nominated for original screenplay at the Oscars.
