My views on what happened: Best Picture: I thought Inglorious Basterds was the best film, but The Hurt Locker was amazing, anything but Avatar winning. Acting-wise, this was the most disappointing year for me since 1999 when Benigni, Paltrow, Coburn and Dench won.

2010 Oscar Nominations The stage is set for a David vs. blue Goliath battle at the Oscars, as independently made Iraq-war drama “The Hurt Locker” faces off with the most expensive movie of all time, “Avatar.” Both movies were nominated for nine Academy Awards, including best picture in a newly expanded field of 10, and best director. Other best picture nominees include “Precious – Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Up in the Air,” “The Blind Side,” “District Nine,” “An Education,” “A Serious Man,” and “Up.” In the top categories, “Up in the Air” scored the most nominations with six, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapated Screenplay, as well as Best Actor, for which George Clooney was nominated, and Best Supporting Actress nods for both Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. “Precious” was right behind it with five. The other best supporting actress nominees included Penelope Cruz for “Nine,” Mo’Nique for “Precious,” and Maggie Gyllenhaal for “Crazy Heart,” whose performance had been largely overlooked by early awards shows. Best supporting actor nods went to Matt Damon, for “Invictus,” Woody Harrelson, for “The Messenger,” Christopher Plummer, for “The Last Station,” Stanley Tucci for “The Lovely Bones,” and Christoph Waltz for “Inglourious Basterds.” The best actor nods went to Jeff Bridges for “Crazy Heart,” Clooney, Colin Firth for “A Single Man,” Jeremy Renner for “The Hurt Locker,” and Morgan Freeman for “Invictus.” In the best ..
