83rd Annual Academy Awards Oscar 2011 Nominations

Saw this in the news the other day on the upcoming 83rd Academy Awards to be held on February 27th 2011 at Hollywood. It's THE award show to watch and learn who will receive the highest honours in movie making.

A quick search on the net educated me on what the academy awards is all about as well as the Oscars awards that are presented on that glamourous night. I remembered following the live telecast every year on TV, and it is a rather luxurious and fancy show. The most anticipated moment would be when the invited announcer reads the line "And the Oscar goes to...."

Oscar Statuettes
Upon further digging, I found out that they have already announced the Oscar nominations last week on January 25th. This is where the hype builds up until 27th February's climax. Going through the list, I realize I have watched some of the movies with nominated awards, but there are some I haven't even heard of, which brought me to reality, that I was not as knowledgeable in the movies as I thought I was.

Anyway I wish to share the list with everyone here. Do check it out below, and tell me if you've watched all of the movies listed for Oscar nominations! Don't mind the long post, I wanted to include everything!

  3. Very different from Golden Globe's list. Social Network sidelined...and Cher's winning song from "Burlesque" not nominated.

    The original "True Grit" - John Wayne won Best Actor. Did not really like the movie...and I thought they gave it to him as he had died...and never won an Oscar.
