Phew, what a week to take off. Lots to catch up on, so let's get started.
Of course the biggest news of the week was the announcement of the Academy Award nominees.
After streaking through the Guild nominations, The Dark Knight was left in the dust by the Academy voters when it came to the big awards, with the exception of the sure bet nomination of Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor.
Likewise, Wall-E couldn't dig himself out of the animated category to compete for the big award either.
Instead, we have Golden Globe-winner Slumdog Millionaire up against The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which picked up the most nominations of any film this year), Frost/Nixon, Milk and The Reader.
All five films' directors--Danny Boyle, David Fincher, Ron Howard, Gus Van Sant and Stephen Daldry--are up for Best Director.
Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) will vie for Best Actor.
Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married), Angelina Jolie (Changeling), Melissa Leo (Frozen River), Meryl Streep (Doubt) and Kate Winslet (The Reader) are up for Best Actress.
