And here they are. The Academy Award nominations for last years movies. Alot of people expected Avatar to do well but to be honest i didn't. I fully expected it to be snubbed apart from visual effects
but it seems that good sense has prevailed as it stand for ten oscars. Hurt Locker is also doing well but i'm over the moon to see District 9 being represented so well with four nods. After such a complete blank by the other awards ceremonies it was about time this amazing film got some recognition.
