The 83rd Annual Academy Award Nominations have been Announced!
Here they are gang! The nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards! It's pretty much exactly what I expected the nominations to be. The only thing missing from the list that I noticed was that Christopher Nolan didn't get a best director nomination for Inception, even though the movie was nominated for Best Picture. I think he should have replaced David O' Russell's spot for The Fighter. Other than that everything is else was predictable.
The Oscars will be awarded live by hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway on February 27, 2011. Check out the full list of nominees below and tell us what you think! Who do you think will win? Who do you want to see win?
