Five Nominations for Blood Diamond
Blood Diamond, which hasn’t done very well at the box office so far, may have a second chance: today it was nominated for five Oscars, including two top acting awards. Leonardo DiCaprio, who was widely expected to be nominated for The Departed, was nominated instead for Blood Diamond. Djimon Hounsou was nominated for best supporting actor. The other two awards were for film editing, sound mixing, and sound editing.
