Oscar nominations


Last week, nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards were announced. No big surprises. There's the usual overhyped frontrunner ("The King's Speech") that threatens to render the awards meaningless - and maybe they always have been. But hey, we can't help but compare and rank one thing against another. If the nominees in the major Oscar categories offer nothing unexpected, there are still surprises to be found in the more obscure categories such as Animated Short and Live Action Short. Pixar's "Day and Night" (screened in front of "Toy Story 3") is probably the only one you've seen. The rest should be available for download on iTunes!
