The 83rd Annual Academy Awards – Nominees!
It is said that the Golden Globes are the trusted indicators of who will walk away with an Oscar, and the 2011 OSCAR‘s nominees list holds no major surprises.
‘The Social Network‘ and ‘The Kings Speech‘ are the front-runners this year, and the Best Actress and Best Actor categories appear to be the toughest to choose from. Annette Bening and Natalie Portman are the top two favourites to take the prize, while Colin Firth looks like a dead cert against Jeff Bridges.
