For the rest of the noms for the movies that you have no intention of seeing check out the Oscars site.
Seriously how boring are those movies and noms? What is up with the Dreamgirls best picture snub? At least Borat only got Screenplay, I was scared he might actually get a best picture nom for a second.
Poor Ellen, poor poor Ellen she has nothing to work with.

 We're fast approaching February sweeps, which means it's time again for disaster to strike on ABC's General Hospital. As previously reported here, Kin Shriner reprises his role as GH's Scotty Baldwin this Friday, Jan. 26. Remember when ABC cryptically told us that Scotty's return would coincide with "a new storytelling technique, a first in daytime"? Well, here's the scenario: On Friday, a big explosion occurs during a fancy schmancy charity fundraiser at Jax and Carly's hotel, the Metro Court. Just like other sweeps disasters — the train collision, the Port Charles Hotel fire, the encephalitis outbreak — this one puts the lives of several Port Charles residents at risk. Right after the Metro Court blows up, the show fades to black and the clock turns back to 16 hours before the explosion. Over the course of 16 episodes, GH will play out the events leading up to the hotel blast (including a hostage crisis) hour by hour. Think of it like an afternoon soap take-off on Fox's prime-time hit, 24. "This is a very exciting time for General Hospital," executive producer Jill Farren Phelps said in a statement. "We are continually looking for ways to raise the bar in how we produce a daily drama. This is an interesting and captivating way to tell a story that will expertly intertwine all of the show's characters together."

OMG! I can't wait for that! If I didn't already watch General Hospital, I would watch to see how they are going to do that!!!

As tomorrow’s deadline looms for the DNA test to establish the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, TMZ has learned Smith’s lawyers are furiously working to halt the test. Sources tell TMZ that Smith’s lawyers are now arguing that the order requiring the test was never brought before a Bahamian judge. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered the test, but Smith’s lawyers now say it’s not binding until a Bahamian judge gives it a stamp of approval. Sources also tell TMZ that Anna Nicole’s lawyers are trying to block the test on grounds that the United States DNA lab hired by Larry Birkhead, the man claiming to be the father of little Dannielynn, cannot legally administer the test because its technicians don’t have work permits for the Bahamas. Despite her public statements that she has nothing to hide, Ms. Smith is going to great lengths to block the DNA test.
