And the Nominees are:

The Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Pirates got a nod for best visual effects! Even though I had only a very small part in this film, its still cool that it got a nomination. Surf's Up got a nomination for best animated film. Juno got a nomination for best picture. The Golden Compass got a nomination for visual effects as well. Congrats to Rhythm and the team of people that worked on that film.
