New York, NY (WFN) -- What's it like to be nominated for an Oscar?

If you're director Fernando Meirelles, you "feel like a guest at someone else's party."

Meirelles -- a Best Director nominee for the Brazilian film, "City Of God" -- says being nominated "is so unreal" and something he never imagined.

Still, he's ready to have a good time at the February 29 ceremony because, in his words, "I'm 99 percent sure Peter Jackson will win for "Return Of The King" so I can relax."

Relax isn't something Meirelles will have much time to do. He's currently in London making "The Constant Gardener" with "English Patient" hunk Ralph Fiennes and "is only flying in for a day to attend the ceremony."

"City Of God," which also received nominations for cinematography, editing and adapted screenplay, is playing in selected cities.
