Penelope nominated, Almodovar out, Mexico in

159926-penelope-cruz-screen-saver.jpgHollywood has been buzzing about an Oscar nod for Pedro Almodóvar's Volver since Cannes. Most of thought it was a given, but we were wrong. Almodóvar (who missed the Golden Globes this year) has been passed over and his film has garnered only one nomination, that of Penelope Cruz:

With the nomination of Penelope Cruz to the Best Actress category, the protagonist of Volver becomes the first Spanish actress to be nominated for this award. The precedent was set by Javier Bardem, who, in 2001, was nominated in the Best Actor category.
In happier news, Mexico can celebrate the multiple nominations of its paisanos. Alejandro González Iñárritu's Babel and Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth have been nominated for numerous awards, and once again Argentino Gustavo Santolalla is in the running for his amazing score.
