Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Oscar 2008 Nominations: Part I
Roger Deakins is competing against himself in the best cinematography category: for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and There Will Be Blood.
***
Jonny Greenwood&#8217;s much praised score for There Will Be Blood was deemed ineligible reportedly because &#34;the majority of the music was not composed specifically for the film.&#34; Alan Menken&#8217;s score for Enchanted was also deemed ineligible because it was based on the &#34;predominant use of songs&#34; and not on actual scoring of dramatic/comedy scenes. There was no &#34;best adapted/best song score&#34; category this year &#8212; though apparently there should have been. (More at The Envelope.)

The Unknown by Giuseppe Tornatore (top); The Counterfeiters by Stefan Ruzowitzky (bottom)

When I stated in my Oscar 2008 predictions that the Academy&#8217;s foreign-language film shortlist is the most difficult to predict, I wasn&#8217;t kidding.
Nowhere to be found in the  list of  nine foreign-language film semi-finalists are:

 Cristian Mungiu&#8217;s 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days &#8212; last year&#8217;s Cannes Film Festival winner and considered by numerous U.S. critics one of the best films of 2007;
 Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud&#8217;s much-ballyhooed and New York Film Critics Circle winner Persepolis,  which may still get a best animated feature nod; 
and Juan Antonio Bayona&#8217;s box-office hit and multiple-Goya nominee The Orphanage.
