Oscar nomination for M.I.A.

So the Oscar nominations were a complete bore, although it was nice to see Heath Ledger recognised on the first anniversary of his death.

There was a show of surprisingly good taste in the Original Song category, too, where the Academy voters ignored High School Musical 3 (every song on the soundtrack was put forward for consideration) and the worst Bond theme of all time (except the Madonna one). Instead, they've plumped for two songs from Slumdog Millionaire, including M.I.A's fantastic O... Saya.

Let's hope the Feds let Ms Arulpragasam into the country to pick up her prize on Feb 22nd!
