I've got the full scoop on this year's Academy Award nominees and it is an artsy year with No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood leading the pack with 8 nominations a piece. Though the loom of the WGA strike is still going on, the show is set to air on February 24th and hosted by Jon Stewart. So who'se it gonna be this year?
