By Michael Siebenaler PULSE REPORTER It's Oscar time again. This year's Academy Award nominations promises to produce wins for seasoned veterans, but could have a few surprise winners as well. Clint Eastwood took Paul GiamattJ's placein the Best Actor category for"Million Dollar Baby," while Don Cheadle got his first nomination for "Hotel Rwanda." Michael Moore took himself out of the documentary category by submitting "Fahrenheit 9/11" for Best Picture and came up empty. The local area gets some national attention with documentary nominee "Twist of Faith," which involves sexual abuse at a local church in Toledo. Mel Gibson let his work speak for itself by refusing to place award advertisements for "The Passion of the Christ," which still got three nominations, though in lower profile technical categories. The 77th Annual Academy Awards will be broadcast Sunday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. on ABC with Chris Rock as emcee. Here the major nominations and predictions for main categories.
