ACADEMY AWARDS NOMINATIONS REVEALED
Moments ago the nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced. Though most of the obvious choices did come through, there were some nice surprises on the indie side, including multiple nominations for The Messenger, including Best Supporting Actor for Woody Harrelson and The Last Station (Helen Mirren for Best Actress and Christopher Plummer for Best Supporting Actor). Colin Firth received a nomination for his moving lead performance in A Single Man, and another surprise was Maggie Gyllenhaal receiving a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Crazy Heart.
And for the first time since the late 30s the Academy is recognizing ten Best Picture nominees.
The Oscars will air on March 7 @ 8:00pm on ABC.
