83rd Annual Academy Awards Nominations

The nominations for the 83^rd Academy Awards are here, and, as expected, not much room for surprises. All the usual suspects are there for the Best Picture race, and despite some solid competition, the award will probably be disputed between the two heavyweights : "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network". The nominations count goes as follows :

• "The King's Speech" - 12 nominations
• "True Grit" - 10 nominations
• "Inception" - 8 nominations
• "The Social Network" - 8 nominations
• "127 Hours" - 6 nominations
• "Black Swan" - 5 nominations 

Some surprise was generated by Javier Bardem's nomination for Leading Actor in "Biutiful" and Michelle Williams for Leading Actress in "Blue Valentine". Big snub for Christopher Nolan who did not get nominated for Best Director. Seems like an interesting year, with no particular favorites. Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.
