2010 Oscar Nominations
The stage is set for a David vs. blue Goliath battle at the Oscars, as independently made Iraq-war drama “The Hurt Locker” faces off with the most expensive movie of all time, “Avatar.”
Both movies were nominated for nine Academy Awards, including best picture in a newly expanded field of 10, and best director.
Other best picture nominees include “Precious – Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Up in the Air,” “The Blind Side,” “District Nine,” “An Education,” “A Serious Man,” and “Up.”
In the top categories, “Up in the Air” scored the most nominations with six, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapated Screenplay, as well as Best Actor, for which George Clooney was nominated, and Best Supporting Actress nods for both Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. “Precious” was right behind it with five.
The other best supporting actress nominees included Penelope Cruz for “Nine,” Mo’Nique for “Precious,” and Maggie Gyllenhaal for “Crazy Heart,” whose performance had been largely overlooked by early awards shows.
Best supporting actor nods went to Matt Damon, for “Invictus,” Woody Harrelson, for “The Messenger,” Christopher Plummer, for “The Last Station,” Stanley Tucci for “The Lovely Bones,” and Christoph Waltz for “Inglourious Basterds.”
The best actor nods went to Jeff Bridges for “Crazy Heart,” Clooney, Colin Firth for “A Single Man,” Jeremy Renner for “The Hurt Locker,” and Morgan Freeman for “Invictus.”
In the best actress category, Meryl Streep was recognized for “Julie & Julia,” along with Sandra Bullock in “The Blind Side” – a nod that drew audible cheers from the audience watching the announcements in Los Angeles – Gabourey Sidibe for “Precious,” Helen Mirren for “The Last Station,” and Carey Mulligan for “An Education.”
Among the directors honored, ex-spouses James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow will fight it out with their movies “Avatar” and “The Hurt Locker,” respectively, both considered the frontrunners. Over the weekend Bigelow won the Director’s Guild Award for best director and best picture, considered a nearly surefire predictor of the directing Oscar.
Other directors in contention for the prize are Lee Daniels for “Precious,” Jason Reitman for “Up in the Air,” and Quentin Tarantino for “Inglourious Basterds.”
If Bigelow wins, she will be the first woman to score the Oscar for directing, and if Daniels wins for “Precious,” he will be the first African-American to win that honor.
For best animated feature, the contenders are “Coraline,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “The Secret of Kells,” and “Up,” which was also among the 10 best picture nominees.

GAWD, I wish A Serious Man had won. The brilliance is much farther beyond The Hurt Locker, and definitely Avatar, which I shall now grant the “Dunce” hat, now go sit in the corner.

Dont buy into corporate lies and deceptions in movies. These actors are puppets. Why should we give these rich, spoiled people any attention. Look outside the box, boycott what the mainstream and officials want you to be like. Start the revolution.
