From Brian Spencer, your About This Week Editor
Before this year's Oscar winners are revealed on Sunday, let's get one thing out of the way: how in the world did Nicolas Cage not earn a Best Actor nomination for his tour de force performance as Balthazar in The Sorcerer's Apprentice?

Will the Oscars Echo the Golden Globes?
