Oscar eligible songs announced

"O Kazakhstan" is eligible, meaning that if it gets nominated (o please, please, please) it'll be performed at the Oscars, which would of course be the highlight of the night. All together now: "Kazakhstan is the greatest country in the world..."

The National Board of Review winners

Warners gambled on moving Eastwood's second WW2 film to this year, and seems to have paid off so far. Or, maybe the NBR just likes Clint. They also put The Painted Veil in their top 10, in addition to giving it Best Adapted Screenplay, which could indicate a late-charging contender. Although, any time you put Edward Norton and Naomi Watts in a period piece, that's a decent bet for awards.

...Speaking of Edward Norton, he's got an Indie Spirit nomination

And look, it's Little Miss Sunshine for Best Picture. And the late, great Robert Altman. Sweet.
