Although a looming SAG strike may threaten next year’s Academy Awards, the Golden Globes ceremony should finally go on as planned. The 66th annual event is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 11th, just 11 days before the Oscar nominations are announced.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of film nominees:
- Frost/Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button both led the field with five nominations each.

- Meryl Streep earned two nominations for her work in Doubt and Mamma Mia.
- Kate Winslet is also up for two awards. Her films - Revolutionary Road and The Reader - are also up for Best Picture.
- Heath Ledger did get a posthumous nomination as expected.
- Although he was recently recognized for his acting work in Gran Torino, director Clint Eastwood (Changeling) was only acknowledged for his musical achievements.

Italian Car Maker Develops Wiper-Free Windshield
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation,
Imagine not having to deal with the noise and hassle of replacing windshield wipers. This is exactly what Italian Car Designer Leonardo Fioravanti has done with his prototype Hindra. The windshield not only filters out UV rays, it repels water. “Nano-dust” forces dirt to the glass edges activated by sensors. Electricity is used to run the entire mechanism. The process is completed by drag which allows freer flowing air over the windshield. The Hindra and its technology will be on display next month at the Geneva Motor Show.

After the mandatory rest period in Florence, Italy, the five remaining teams began their eighth leg of the race. They were now set to fly 4000 miles away to Mumbai, India. Nicolas and Donald – the first team to reach the last pit stop – started their trek at 10:12 PM. Before heading to the airport, they researched flights through the internet. After securing Air France seats with a 10:30 PM arrival time, they went to find a few hours of shut-eye. Ronald and Christina were the only other duo smart enough to call ahead for tickets.

After their brief break in Dubrovnik, the five remaining teams made very early departures toward their next destination: Italy. To reach the town of Ancona, the groups first had to travel by bus to Split, Croatia. From there, the racers would jump aboard a ferry and travel across the Adriatic to Ancona, Italy.
Although Ronald and Christina were the first group to hit the road at 2:19 AM, the first bus wasn’t scheduled to leave until 5 AM. This allowed Kynt/Vxyin and Nathan/Jennifer to catch up with them. Eventually, Nicolas and Donald – who started off 5 hours later than the first team – even managed to get on the same page. All the groups ended up being on the same ferry heading out of the country.
