Posted by Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama)

Mark WahlbergThe 79th Academy Awards nominations were announced yesterday, and actors who also happen to be parents are well-represented. The Celebrity Baby Blog has thoroughly analyzed the list of nominees and notes the thespian parents and names and ages of their children.

Moms and dads up for awards include:

  • Kate Winslet, Best Actress for Little Children—daughter Mia, 6, and son Joe, 3.

  • Forest Whitaker, Best Actor for The Last King of Scotland—son Ocean, 16, daughters Sonnet, 10, and True, 8, and stepdad to Autumn, 15. (He wins the award for coolest names, but would you expect anything less from Forest Whitaker?)
  • Eddie Murphy, a.k.a. "the biggest ass ever," Best Supporting Actor for Dreamgirls—daughter Bria, 17, son Christian, 15, and daughters Shayne, 12, Zola, 6 ˝, and Bella, 4 ˝, as well as two other unacknowledged children. Believed to be father of Mel B’s baby, due in late spring

Yeesh, I'll bet those Wahlberg children are mouthy little creatures, given their father's penchant for swearing and bad behaviour  in real life. Still, I loved Marky-Mark's character in The Departed and think he's an awesome actor.  

I'm rooting for  Jackie Earl Haley (Little Children), though. Who'd have thought that Kelly Leak (Bad News Bears - the original version) would ever rise to such great artistic heights?

Okay, I'm done dating myself now.

Jah furrows his brow.  Jah knows who Marky Mark is, but who is brilliant?  You say that "He was fucking brilliant in The Departed".  Is Brilliant the daughter/grand-daughter of Viva?  It's all so Warhol.  Jah can't keep these celebrities straight anymore.
