Academy Awards: Nominations Announced

Nominations for the 80th annual Academy Awards were announced this morning with very few surprises--Jason Reitman's Juno made a fairly clean sweep of the major categories, while Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood and the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men got the most nominations with eight apiece. (Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton also performed well with seven nominations.)

Check out our full list of nominations after the jump.
