Amy Adams (Charlie Wilson's War)

Alison Janney (Juno)

Jessica Garner (Juno)

Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton)

Moon of Liberty award notes - Alison Janney is part of a strong showing of the TV's 'The West Wing' in this years awards, with a number of nominations also going to Charlie Wilson's War, of which the screenplay was by West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin. Juno is the first film to get two nominations in the same category. Swinton has her first solo nomination, she starred in 'The Chronicals of Narnia' the winner of the Entertainment category two years ago.

Transformers

Moon of Liberty award notes - Knightley and Depp who will be nominated in other categories get another nomination of sorts for Pirates of the Carribean. The Harry Potter team follow up their nomination for the Goblet of Fire two years ago with another one, in the chinese year of the Rat, there is no keeping down that rat-chef either.

Jamie Foxx (The Kingdom)

Tom Cruise (Lions For Lambs)

George Clooney (Michael Clayton)
