A big-budget popcorn movie based on a ride at Disneyland has five Oscar nominations, one of which is for an acting award.

This year's best actor category features Ed Wood, Gandhi, Lemony Snicket, Peter Venkman and Jeff Spicoli.

Considering the season's run of nominations for best actress and its impact on the expected Oscar nominees, last year's incumbent best actress was bumped from the category by a 13-year-old who'd never acted before this role and was being suggested in ads for the supporting actress category because the production company didn't think she had a shot at getting a lead nomination.

The same girl who ruined "Godfather, Part III" has three Oscar nominations this year.

All three of the nominees for Best Visual Effects have ten words and a colon in their titles. (Yeah, it's stupid. Odd, but stupid.)

Four out of the five Best Supporting Actress nominees can have their roles described with the phrase "oversuffering mother." (Again, stupid, but still.)

Bono and U2 won't be performing at the Oscars, but considering the nominations for Best Song, it's entirely possible Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara will.

This year, Alec Baldwin was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for "The Cooler" and Worst Supporting Actor at the Razzies for "Cat in the Hat". Jeez, people make up your mind!
