HSX : Movies : Award Options 2007



In a first in Academy Award history, the film with the most nominations was not tapped for the Best Picture category. Dreamgirls led with 8 nominations this year but was shut out of most of the major categories. Babel came in second place with seven nominees. Surprisingly, the indie films The Queen and Pan�s Labyrinth both received 6 noms. The highest grossing film in the Best Picture race, The Departed rounded out the top nominated films at 5 nods. The nominations appear to be evenly spread this year, making it possible for all films to go home winners at the Academy Awards ceremony.
