Academy Award Nominations

Tuesday Morning, the Oscar Nominations were read, and of course Brokeback Mountain took in the most nominations, with a total of 8, including Best Picture. Crash, Good Night and Good Luck, and Memoirs of a Geisha all had 6 nominations, with both Crash and Good Night and Good Luck being nominated for Best Picture. Other Best Picture nominees were Capote and Munich, each having 5 nominations (Walk the Line also has 5 nominations). In an interesting twist this year for each Best Picture nominee, the director of the film was also nominated for Best Director.
