PLGGSJ JSMMSEP, LKS FHARP "Of all the news programs, the morning shows have the best opportunity to make a lot of money," according to Chris Licht, former executive producer of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," whom CBS hired to run its new show. "Not to try would be very foolish." CBS works to wake up morning news program LOS ANGELES — Since the advent of television, CBS has had a hard time getting up in the morning. Despite recruiting such heavyweights as Bryant Gumbel, Diane Sawyer, Bob Schieffer and even Dick Van Dyke, the network has always trailed NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning, America" in the ratings. So why does CBS stay in the game? Cash, and lots of it. MON NLX ' ES O QTOK - OPHY, Yesterday's Cryptoquip: INHABITANTS OF HADES DWELL EXTREMELY FAR FROM ANY URBAN AREA. THEY'RE WAY OUT IN THE STYX.

That's nowhere near the $454 million that "Today" pulled in, but it's a nice pile of cash, and it could get bigger. Two weeks ago, CBS brought in new hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King at a time when many believe "Today" is vulnerable — especially if Matt Lauer, its longtime co-host, doesn't renew his contract this year. - McClatchy Tribune SUDOKU | | | | 8 | 9 | 7 | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | 5 | | | | 1 | | | | | 2 | | | | 6 | | | | 4 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 8 | 2 | 5 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 5 | | | | | | 9 | | | 6 | | | 2 | | | 3 | | | 2 | | | 4 | | | 7 | | | 3 | | | | | | 6 | | | | 9 | 5 | 6 | 2 | 3 | | Difficulty Level ★★★ 1/25 PLEASE RECYCLE PLEASE RECYCLE PLEASE RECYCLE PLEASE RECYCLE MOVIES Director Martin Scorsese poses backstage with the award for Best Director of a Motion Picture for the film "Hugo" during the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards Jan. 15 in Los Angeles. "Hugo" just snagged 11 Oscar nominations. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Hugo" leads pack with 11 Oscar noms Glenn Close and Janet McTeer, both playing women living disguised as men in 19th century Ireland, got best actress and supporting actress nominations for "Albert Nobbs." MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Though almost all of the pre-Oscar favorites picked up their expected nominations, there were surprises. Nine films were nominated for best picture, but not "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Five films are up for best animated feature film, but not "The Adventures of Tintin." Martin Scorsese's love poem to the movies and film preservation, "Hugo," led the pack with a whipping 11 Oscar nominations when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced the contenders for the 84h Academy Awards Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills. Movies that hadn't made a ripple this awards season, such as "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Bridesmaids," "Albert Nobbs" and "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," made Oscar noise in spite of that lack of buzz. The same two pictures that have dominated the pre-Oscar awards — "The Artist" and "The Descendants"— still look like favorites, collecting nine and five nominations, respectively. "Hugo" and "War Horse" (six nominations) set themselves up to be Oscar night's biggest losers, collecting lots of nominations in categories they have little chance of winning. Meryl Streep collected her 17th nomination for her brilliant impersonation of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." Though she is a favorite to take home the best actress Oscar (she hasn't won since 1982's "Sophie's Choice," despite collecting new nominations every couple of years), she struck a modest tone on hearing the news. "I am honored to be in company with such beautiful artists, and touched deeply by my fellow actors for their generosity in giving me this acknowledgment," Streep said in a statement. For once, the Academy remembered a few movies from earlier in the year — the March animated smash "Rango" and early summer's "The Tree of Life" (nominations for director Terrence Malick and for cinematography), "Bridesmaids" (nominations for screenplay and for supporting actress Melissa McCarthy) and Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" (three nominations, including director and original screenplay). Demian Bichir from this summer's little-seen "A Better Life" scored a surprise nomination for best actor. He's competing against heavy favorite George Clooney ("The Descendants"), Jean Dujardin ("The Artist"), Brad Pitt ("Moneyball") and Gary Oldman, a first-time nominee for his performance as an aged, meticulous spy master in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." Best actress pits favorites Streep and Viola Davis ("The Help") against Close ("Albert Nobbs"), Rooney Mara ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") and Michelle Williams ("My Week With Marilyn"). "The Adventures of Tintin" and Steven Spielberg (no best director nomination for "War Horse" or "Tintin") were the early consensus on nomination day's biggest losers. Albert Brooks ("Drive"), director David Fincher ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"), Jim Broadbent ("The Iron Lady") and Ryan Gosling, not nominated for either "Drive" or "The Ides of March," also were left out in the Oscar cold. The 84th Academy Awards will be handed out Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. and televised on ABC. It's Our Annual Winter Sale!
