The 2011 Oscar nominations were announced this morning. The King's Speech led the Academy Awards way with 12 Oscar nominations, including nominations for Best Film and Colin Firth for Best Actor.
Some surprises included Winter's Bone getting a Best Film nomination plus other major noms, such as Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress for her role in the movie.
There were some snubs too - Inception was not included in the Best Director category.
We'll have to wait until February 27th when the biggest night in cinema takes place at the famed Kodak Theater. For the first time ever, two non-comedic personalities (James Franco & Anne Hathaway) will be hosting the Oscars! They are both very likeable but they can do the job?! I guess we will find out on Oscar night!

How come Tyler Perry and the remake of 'For Colored Girls' is nowhere... hmmmm
I am really not sure! I must admit I have not seen the film and would not be able to offer an objective opinion. I did notice that there are no people of color nominated in the top categories.
Keep an eye on the Foreign Language Film Category. In A Better World was nominated for an Oscar. The movie was was shot partly in Kenya and has some Kenyan cast members.
