I saw 3:10 to Yuma because it was a western and I am a fan of the genre. I actually thought it was really standard. Not Academy material aside from the chap that played Charlie Prince. He was the only person that got me through an otherwise predictable and ridiculous film.
They overlooked David Fincher's Zodiac though. That is a shame. For a populist-leaning film, that was very ambitious.

If they were going to give a nomination to an actress from Atonement, it really should have been to Romola Garai. Her performance was superb in that movie.

I honestly thought both of those movies were a little overrated. But if they were to be nominated for something, I'd agree with you, 3:10 was better.
Agreed with Tommy re:Zodiac as well. Robert Downey Jr. deserves Hal Holbrook's spot. Holbrook, while good, was in the movie for no longer than William Hurt was in A History of Violence.
Inlander:
Yes, but there always has to be at least one old codger in the Oscar nominations. If he was actually good in the film he's nominated for, that's just a bonus.

If there were ever an actor who deserved a big break, it's Ben Foster.
