    The main HIGHLIGHTS, are in my opinion, the nod for

    Best Picture for "Little Miss Sunshine" and Best Supporting Actress for Abigail Breslin as Olive. Read Cinephilia's "LMS" Review,
    and the nomination of Ryan Gosling as Dan Dunne

    (in the Best Actor category for "Half Nelson").

    Read the "Half Nelson" Review.

    The FAILURES include the absence of a nomination

    for Maggie Gyllenhaal's excellent performance for "Sherrybaby".

    Read "Sherrybaby" Review,
    a more than deserving nomination for "Brick"

    in categories Best Original Screenplay, Cinematography or Best Actor: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "Brick" Review.
    "A Scanner Darkly" also snubbed i.e. for a Animated Feature Film nomination. "A Scanner Darkly" review.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/2007/01/road-to-oscars_27.html
