No Clint Eastwood?

Where's the love? The man, Clint Eastwood did not got nominated for his last acting role in Gran Torino. And the Academy did not nominate The Dark Knight or director Christopher Nolan for the higher categories. That's too bad.

One cool thing coming out of these nominations was from the Foreign Film Category. Check out the trailer for the Palme D'Or nominated and Golden Globe winning Israeli film Waltz With Bashir.
