Some of the biggest shocks no doubt include  Religulous as it is already out of the running for the oscar in the documentary front as well as the inclusions of Mark Ruffalo,Beyonce (for Cadillac Records a film very few have seen as of yet), Angelica Huston(with no precuser love in any publication for Choke), as well as James Franco for Milk which every one is assuming would go to James Brolin if a supporting actor nomination would be given to the film.

No love to The Dark Knight??
