Oscar 2007: le candidature

Colpevolmente in ritardo per importanti ragioni familiari, mi occupo finalmente dell'argomento principe dell'anno, che per la prima volta ho seguito in diretta televisiva: le nomination agli Oscar 2007 (non so come mai si chiamino così, dato che si riferiscono all'anno precedente, ma tant'è...).
Di seguito la lista delle categorie principali.
A breve (... meglio dopo gli Screen Actors Guild Awards, che verranno assegnati nella notte di domenica 28 gennaio) seguirà un post con commenti e curiosità varie.
