MORE history set to be made at the Oscars?
I first came across this factoid in the comments section of yesterday's "Oscar history" entry from a reader named Chris, and again today I see that Pete Hammond is making the assertion. But apparently, if "Atonement" and "Sweeney Todd" both miss out on Best Picture nominations next week (as it seems they will), it will be the second time in the history of life as we know it that neither of the Golden Globe Best Picture winners received a nod from the Academy. And you have to go way back to 1955 to find the only other instance.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more: WEIRD YEAR.
