Yup, the 82 nd Annual Academy Award nominations were announced early this morning. James Cameron’s Avatar and Katheryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker tied for the most nominations with nine—which is interesting not only because the two films are at opposite ends of the budget spectrum, but because Cameron and Bigelow used to be married. It would be fun to build this year’s Oscar race up as a battle between acrimonious exes, but apparently the two are still on friendly terms. Oh well.This year’s newly expanded list of 10 “Best Picture” nominees includes: Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Precious, A Serious Man, Up and Up in the Air . You can check out all the categories on the Academy’s website.
