While I do think that Nicole Sullivan's Object Oriented CSS has real value (especially in high traffic sites), I haven't found it to be necessarily better than the way I've always done CSS. And that name! Though she named it OOCSS, it is most certainly not object oriented in the way that a real OO language is. To call it that has just muddied the waters between developers and front end people and kind of made us (front end folks) sound like we don't know what we're talking about. Sigh. That said, HTML and CSS are not object oriented and, as far as I can know, never could be. Certainly bits of HTML and CSS can be created using OO languages, but that's about web development and CMSes, not CSS.
