Carpetbagger has the full rundown of Oscar noms in major categories ... just like every other "news" site and blog known to man, as if that many people were really interested, especially in a year when there's not even a Julia Roberts movie up for consideration! HitFix zeros in on the biggest "surprises" (not exactly up there with, say, the surprise of stepping on a land mine whilst serving your country in Afghanistan, but anyway). The big shocker those desperately in need of lives can't stop talking about: the Best Picture nod for glorified Lifetime flick "The Blind Side" (and no, we haven't seen it; when we heard church groups were organizing screenings, we figured it might not be our cup of hemlock).
