Although “Dreamgirls” got the most noms (8) the musical was left out of the Best Picture category.

“Babel,” “The Departed,” “Letters from Iwo Jima,” “Little Miss Sunshine” and “The Queen” were nominated for every Hollywood producer’s dream award for the 2007 version of the Academy Awards.

Even after snagging a Golden Globe, the academy snubbed the Motown muscial.

The surprise flick of the awards season has to be the indy phenom, “Little Miss Sunshine,” which received an impressive four major noms: supporting actor, supporting actress, screenplay and picture. The comedy is now in position to be this year’s “Crash.”

The questions on everyone’s lips are, “Will Al Gore accept the Best Documentary award for “An Inconvenient Truth” and “What will he do when the music starts playing.?”
The 79th Annual Academy Awards are scheduled to be presented Feb. 25. Ellen DeGeneres will host the ABC telecast.
