Today, Australia Day, the nominations for the 2011 83rd Academy Awards were announce. 'The King's Speech' with 12 nominations is the film I'm betting to be the 'favourite' at the Oscars this year, with 'True Grit' (with 10 nominations) and 'The Social Network' (yes, the Facebook movie) with 8 nominations not far behind it.
Natalie Portman and Colin Firth have been the favorites for Best Actress and Best Actor awards, respectively, as they have been picking up most of the praise this awards season. Three Australians are up for Oscars this year, Nicole Kidman for Best Actress (she has 3 nominations now, and has won one Oscar)Geoffrey Rush for Best Supporting Actor (his 4th nomination, and already has an Oscar from 1997) and lastly 63 year old Jacki Weaver with an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a criminal mother in the small budget Aussie film 'Animal Kingdom'.
Something tells me that the Oscars shall be special this year...
