"One dream deferred" by Colin Cover and Jeff Strickler, Star Tribune
Summary:
From best actor nominee Will Smith to a younger best supporting actress nominee, Abigail Breslin, there was a buzz in Hollywood as the Oscar nominations were announced. The movie taking in the most nominations, "Dream girls" with 8 nominations somehow fell short of a best picture nomination.
Challege:
The challege for this story is to report who the public wants to see. With so many nominations, it was crucial to pick ones that the public wants to see.
Comparison:
David Carr of the New York times reported on the nominations as well. Although the set up was slightly different, the two stories focused mainly on the same points. "Dreamgirls" received 8 nominations and little Abigail Breslin is in the running for best supporting acress.

Lede: I noticed the lede was very plain. The word 'Oscar" was enough to grab viewers attention.
