Commentary:
Best Actor: Jeremy Renner gets a boost after having been overlooked in favor of Tobey Maguire by The Golden Globes...BIG SURPRISE...NO DANIEL DAY-LEWIS! Also No Mortensen, No DeNiro. Pretty predictable here.
Best Actress: The Sandra Bullock train continues to gather steam...
Best Supporting Actor: Woody Harrelson continues to make some noise in this category...the rest of the field as expected...again, No Alfred Molina For "An Education"
Best Supporting Actress: Diane Kruger for Inglorious Basterds! There's your stunner on the list. Julianne Moore and Samantha Morton getting the short straw here.
Ensemble: The other surprise...no nomination here for "Up in the Air," "Precious" or "Invictus"...and kind of a surprising ones for "An Education," "The Hurt Locker" and "Basterds"...
Clearinghouse updated tomorrow!
