Villainous roles have snatched the supporting-acting prizes at the Academy Awards Precious co-star Mo’Nique as a loathsome mother and Inglourious Basterds co-star Christoph Waltz as a sociable Nazi fiend.
With the industry’s top trophy in hand, both performers capped remarkable years, Mo’Nique startling fans with dramatic depths previously unsuspected in the actress known for lowbrow comedy and Austrian-born veteran Waltz leaping to fame with his first big Hollywood role.
The blockbuster Up won the animated feature Oscar and the Iraq War drama The Hurt Locker took the prize for original screenplay.
The Hurt Locker and Avatar are tied for the Oscar lead with nine nominations each.
Academy Awards voters are expected to go very big or very small on their best picture winner at Sundays Oscars.
The two favorites in the expanded field of 10 best-picture nominees are the as big as it gets blockbuster Avatar and the critical darling The Hurt Locker which drew a tiny fraction of the audience its mammoth competitor pulled in.

Oscars 2009: The Complete List of Nominees
Benjamin Button and Slumdog Millionaire lead with 13 and 10 nominations, respectively; Heath Ledger gets a Best Supporting Actor nod, but ”The Dark Knight” snubbed in Best Picture and Best Director categories
With 13 nominations — including Best Picture, Best Actor (Brad Pitt), Best Supporting Actress (Taraji P. Henson), and Best Director (David Fincher) — The Curious Case of Benjamin Button leads the field of Academy Award contenders announced this morning in Los Angeles. As expected, Slumdog Millionaire scored big too, nabbing 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Danny Boyle), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Not surprisingly, Heath Ledger was recognized for his supporting role in The Dark Knight, but a widely anticipated Best Picture nomination didn’t happen, and director Christopher Nolan came up empty as well. Other notable snubs: Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio’s turns in Gran Torino and Revolutionary Road, respectively. (Click over to PopWatch after reading the full list of nominees below to post your nominees for most frustrating Oscar omissions.)
