The Oscar nominations are in and Rock Daily favorites Eddie Vedder and Jonny Greenwood have both been shut out. The good news lies in the Best Supporting Actress category, where Cate Blanchett is nominated for her role of Bob Dylan alter-ego Jude Quinn in Todd Haynes Im Not There (Blanchett also picked up a Best Actress nod for playing the title role in Elizabeth: The Golden Age; this is the second time shes been nominated for playing that character). Rolling Stone cover star Johnny Depp also snagged a nomination, getting a Best Actor nod for his starring role in Sweeney Todd.
On the music front, Jonny Greenwoods score for There Will Be Blood was disqualified from the competition despite already picking up a Critics Choice Award and getting nominated for a British Academy Award. Eddie Vedders omission is confusing, as his Guaranteed from Into the Wild seemed to be a shoe-in for Oscar love after winning a Golden Globe. The Best Song category is dominated by fairy tale film Enchanted, which took three of the five nominations. Falling Slowly, co-written by the Frames Glen Hansard for the film Once, also received a nomination for Best Song. Barring Writers Strike-induced delays, the Oscars ceremony is scheduled to take place February 24th.
