Arguably, the night with the biggest amount of 'Snubs and Surprises'. Keisha Castle-Hughes surprised everyone when she was nominated in the Best Actress category at the age of 13 for her role in 'Whale Rider', when she was thought to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Therefore filling the 'gap' in the Supporting category, Shoreh Aghdashloo was nominated for 'The House of Sand and Fog' after showing up on no major awards lists.
