Academy Awards nominations

While the Oscar nominations were announced with their customary glitz, concerns are high that the awards show on February 24 could be a non-starter. With the strike by the 12,000 members of the Writers' Guild of America in its 14th week, there are few signs that the dispute that caused the cancellation of the Golden Globes ceremony this month is nearing a resolution. But the producers of the Oscar show have vowed to go on with the show even if there is a picket of the red carpet.
