Earlier today the nominations for this year’s Oscars; which will be the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony; were officially announced, and seemed to heavily favor a couple of films above all others; including The King’s Speech (which held the highest number of nominations; 12 in total), and True Grit (with 10 nominations), which came out ahead of competitors such as The Social Network (which received 8 nominations), and The Fighter (which came away with 7).
To find out who the winners are, you’ll have to wait until the awards are held on February 27th, but for now, a full breakdown of the nominations can be found below (including all the most popular awards; from Best Picture, and Best Director; and those that get considerably less press; such as Visual Effects, Best Documentary, and Best Original Score); including one category which practically seems to announce it’s winner already (as one of the nominations for Best Animated Picture also pops up with a Best Picture nomination).
