Canadians to shine at Oscars

I haven't seen the whole list, but there are some notable Canadian nominees.

Ellen Page, as expected, has been nominated for Best Actress for her work in "Juno." Page will be up against Julie Christie for her work in the Canadian film "Away from Her."

Sarah Polley was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Away from Her." It would be too much to ask that Polley would also be nominated for Best Director in her directorial debut, and being 28.

Jason Reitman, also a Canadian, was nominated for Best Director for "Juno."

"Eastern Promises," from Canadian director David Cronenberg, got a nomination for Viggo Mortensen for Best Actor.

The Oscars will be February 24.
