2011 Academy Awards’ Nominees
The nominees of 83rd Academy Awards have been announced on January 25, 2011. There are some surprises, like there is no Christoper Nolan’s name on the Best Directors list and Leonardo DiCaprio’s on Best Actors (both from Inception). Mark Walhberg (The Fighter), Mila Kunis (Black Swan), and Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) are also being left behind in this 2011 Oscar.
The 83rd Academy Awards’ ceremony will take place on February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. Actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway will be co-hosting the ceremony, which will be the first time for each.
