Boston throws Giamatti in the ring

Paul Giamatti, to whom Oscar is allergic, has his first notice of the year -- for supporting actor in Cinderella Man. The Boston critics have seconded Brokeback for picture/director, and Capote for actor, supporting actress, and screenplay. Again, what's the deal with Keener? She has no good scenes or lines. Perhaps she is being feted for her camouflage technique. Baffling. Also, welcome Witherspoon.
