Who got a boost?:

• Danny Boyle for Best Director. Both he and his film are basically the front runners. It really is the "little film that could" of the year.
  
• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for Best Picture.
• Kate Winslet for Best Actress.
• Viola Davis for Best Supporting Actress.
• Sean Penn for Best Actor. He's clearly the front runner for the award, and the Oscar nomination is a sure bet, but the Academy may not be ready to give him a second statue so soon.
  
• Frost/Nixon for screenplay
• Australia for cinematography

Who got snubbed?:

• Meryl Streep, who has yet to collect another award.
• Waltz With Bashir
