Spanish actor Javier Bardem has slammed ex-model Jill Marshall's lawsuit against him, claiming the beauty's nose was broken through "her own conduct". Marshall filed suit last month accusing Bardem of breaking her nose on the dance floor of New York's Gypsy Tea nightclub during an after party for the premiere of his film The Sea Inside. Marshall claims her injury was so severe, she required surgery following the alleged incident. Besides suing Bardem, she has also accused Gypsy Tea of negligence for continuing to serve alcohol to the actor "while in a state of intoxication" and their failure to provide security to prevent the incident. Bardem's attorney Martin Singer claimed Marshall approached Bardem for a dance several times at the bash, but was turned down. Singer says, "He is an excellent dancer. I'm not going to comment on the woman's dancing abilities. However, to the extent the woman was injured while she was dancing, it was caused by her own conduct."

As expected, The Aviator flew high at this morning's announcement of the 77th Academy Award nominations, grabbing a field-best 11 nods, including Best Picture. The Howard Hughes biopic also scored nominations in most of the major categories, including Best Director for Martin Scorsese, Best Actor (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Supporting Actress (Cate Blanchett), and a surprise nod for Alan Alda for Best Supporting Actor. Following behind The Aviator were Finding Neverland and Million Dollar Baby, each with seven nods apiece. Both movies were nominated for Best Picture, though <I>Neverland</I> didn't get a nomination for director Marc Forster; <I>Baby</I>, however, scored a two-fer for Clint Eastwood, who got both Best Actor and Best Director nominations. Ray (six nominations) and Sideways (five nominations) rounded out the Best Picture race; both movies also received Best Director nominations. <br><br> There were very few surprises all around, as heavy favorites in the acting categories all drew nominations, including Jamie Foxx, who was nominated for Best Actor for Ray and Supporting Actor for Collateral. The most glaring omission was that of Sideways' Paul Giamatti, who was left out of the Best Actor race, though his co-stars Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen were both honored. Another surprise was the inclusion of Mike Leigh on the Best Director list for Vera Drake, the only Best Director nomination without a corresponding Best Picture nod. In the Foreign Language Film category, the most notable omission was House of Flying Daggers, though expected nominees Les Choristes (which grabbed a surprise Best Song nomination) and The Sea Inside rubbed shoulders with films from Sweden and South Africa. Pixar will take on DreamWorks yet again in the Best Animated Feature race, with The Incredibles going up against fellow box office behemoths Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. <br><br> The Academy Awards, overseen by first time host Chris Rock, will be handed out on Sunday, February 27th. <br><br> <a href="http://us.imdb.com/features/rto/2005/oscars"><b>See the entire list of this year's nominees</b></a> and more coverage in <a href="http://us.imdb.com/features/rto/2005/"><b>IMDb.com's Road to the Oscars</b></a>

Perennial awards favorite Sideways dominated the Screen Actors Guild nominations with a field-best four nominations, including Best Ensemble Cast. The Alexander Payne comedy also nabbed three individual acting nominations as well for lead Paul Giamatti and supporting players Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen, putting it just ahead of a number of films that received three nominations each, including The Aviator, Finding Neverland, Million Dollar Baby, and Hotel Rwanda; all those movies also earned Best Ensemble nominations alongside Ray and Sideways. Jamie Foxx was once again the actor of the hour, taking home three individual nominations for Ray, Collateral, and TV movie Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story as well as an Ensemble nod for Ray. Foxx was followed by Hilary Swank, who received two solo nominations, for Million Dollar Baby and HBO movie Iron Jawed Angels, and an Ensemble mention for Million Dollar Baby. <br><br> With their film nominations, the SAGs threw a number of new names into the awards season mix, including Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace), James Garner (The Notebook), Freddie Highmore (Finding Neverland), Cloris Leachman (Spanglish), and Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda).
