Nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced today in Beverly Hills, CA. The Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, Feb. 27 on ABC. Anne Hathaway and James Franco will co-host the event.
The leading nominations winner? The King’s Speech lead all movies with 12 nominations. True Grit and Inception are both at a close second and third with 10 and eight, respectively.
Sadly, my man Mark Wahlberg was snubbed for Best Actor, but The Fighter was nominated for Best Picture and his co-stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo all got nominations as well. It’s like the Titanic all over again with the whole cast and movie being nominated but the main actor, in that latter case, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Mila Kunis was also a no-show on the nominations list as were director Christopher Nolan (Inception), Michael Douglas (Wallstreet), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Matt Damon (True Grit), Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right); Halle Berry (Frankie & Alice), and Paul Giamatti (Barney’s Version).
