Quit doing all your home work, and pay good attention! Why? What do you mean – why? The nominees for the
83rd Academy Awards have just been announced, and you don’t want to miss that, do you?
So, who are the biggest players this year?
Tom Hooper‘s
The King’s Speech definitely leads the race with even 12 nominations, including best picture, directing, original screenplay and actor for
Colin Firth.
As usual,
Joel and Ethan Coen are the part of the race too, this time with the remake of the western
True Grit, that gained 10 nominations, including best picture.
Let’s move on…
Christopher Nolan is surprisingly ignored as Best Director and
Inception will have to conform with the nomination for best original screenplay and seven more.
The same score has
David Fincher‘s
The Social Network – eight nominations including Best Picture.
The King’s Speech – Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and director Tom Hooper all up for Oscar gold
While we’re here at the Best Picture nominations, let’s mention all movies that will compete for the top prize:
127 Hours, Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King’s Speech, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, True Grit and
Winter’s Bone.
The five nominees announced in category for Best Foreign film are
Biutiful, Dogtooth, Outside the Law, Incendies, and
In a Better World.
We’re glad to find Dogtooth on this list, we’re definitely cheering for this Greece movie!
James Franco, who will host the Academy Awards alongside
Anne Hathaway this year, is nominated for the best actor prize for his role in
127 Hours.
We’re glad to see that
Javier Bardem, after winning an Oscar (No Country for Old Men) for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role, nominated for Best Actor In Leading Role
for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s
Biutiful. That would be the second nomination for Biutiful.
On the other hand,
Jeremy Renner is again nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the role in
The Town, after last year’s nomination for Best Actor in Leading Role (The Hurt Locker).
Fantastic
Nicole Kidman is in the race for Best Actress prize for her role in the
Rabbit Hole.
