Oscar nominations - usual suspects

Them Oscar nominations are in - not an out gay in sight but lots of Brits. It is still not what effect the ongoing writer's strike will have on the ceremony, which takes place on the 24th February in LA's Kodak Theatre, presented by lovely John Stewart off the Daily Show.

Earlier this month the Golden Globes ceremony was cancelled as apparently people can't write their own jokes.
