Yep. ?Here they are. ?Philip Seymour Hoffman is a damn lock for Best Actor, Reese Witherspoon will most likely win for Best Actress, and Brokeback will probably take home Best Picture. ?It's a shame Munich got so many nominations, good films should be nominated, not films people think should have been good. ?Jon Stewart will host the telecast on March 5th. Click over for the full list of nominations.

People blocked out of a nomination; Russell Crowe (Cinderella Man), Claire Danes (Shopgirl), Steve Martin (Shopgirl script), Syriana (for best pic), Why We Fight (best doc) and others we can't think of right now.
