2008* Oscars - Oscar Nominees:
* Yes, some sources call them the "2009" Oscars. We could have skipped 2008 or 2007, and or re-named all of the prior years, but you can do the math. The first Oscars were held in 1928 for the 1927/28 season. Over the years, the awards became for the prior year and listed as such.

In keeping the tradional way Americans count numbers, this is, in fact, the 81st Annual Oscars ceremony, the 2008 Oscars.
