[SeaShelley]

13! Here's a snipit from the AP:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- The frisky musical "Chicago," adapted from the stage hit about two murderous women competing for tabloid celebrity, led Academy Awards contenders Tuesday with 13 nominations, among them best picture and four acting honors.

Other best-picture nominees for the 75th annual Oscars were the 1860s vengeance epic "Gangs of New York"; the Virginia Woolf-related drama "The Hours"; the fantasy adventure "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"; and the Holocaust saga "The Pianist."

Besides best picture, "Chicago" scored nominations for lead actress Renee Zellweger, supporting actresses Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones and supporting actor John C. Reilly. Richard Gere, who had done well in earlier film honors, was snubbed in the lead actor category for "Chicago."

"Chicago" director Rob Marshall also earned a nomination.

I can't wait for "Chicago" to come out on DVD since there is no way I'm going to make it to a theatre any time soon!

Chicago was GREAT! And I normally hate musicals. I thought it was wonderful. Very well done and it captured me the entire movie.

But my heart goes with LOTR: The Two Towers.

I need to get busy watching the other 3 nominees before Oscar day!!!!
