Ryan Gosling nominated for "Half Nelson"

As many of you probably know the nominations are out for the 79th Annual Academy Awards, and Ryan Gosling has been nominated for Best Actor for his role in "Half Nelson." A large amount of the nominations this year have gone to more independent films, which in my opinion says a lot about the current state of American film criticism.
Other nominations worth mentioning include


"Little Children" - Supporting Actor (Jackie Earle Haley), Best Actress (Kate Winslet), Best Adapted Screenplay.

"Pan's Labyrinth" - Art Direction, Cinematography, Best Foreign Language Film, Makeup, Original Score, Original Screenplay



"Volver" - Best Actress (Penélope Cruz)

Volver begins playing at Vinegar Hill Theatre
this Friday January 26th. Check out Vinegar Hill's website for showtimes.
