Academy Award Nominations 2010
Academy Award Nominations 2010: Nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards were announced this morning, as many expected, Avatar and The Hurt Locker lead the pack with nine nominations each. Among those, James Cameron’s blue-hued 3D epic snagged a nod for Original Score. But Leona Lewis’ Avatar theme song “I See You,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe, was snubbed. In fact, there weren’t any major pop stars (no offense to Academy standby Randy Newman) singled out this year, Where are the stars gone? Even Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O, for her critical fave Where The Wild Things Are tunes is not included.
Probably, they opted for another taste by nominating a song from Nine? The only time the majority of America has heard anything from that disastrous box office dud is probably when they walk into a Starbucks, since the chain got stuck shilling the soundtrack.
Are hey changing there rules? Maybe with the overhaul to the Best Picture category (there are now ten nominees, instead of the traditional five) the “lowly” music field was simply an afterthought for the Academy. But if you ask us, it seems like a bit more tweaking is needed for Oscar to remain truly credible-and to not seem completely out of touch.
Well, at this point, the Golden Raspberry nominees appear to be more exciting. At least Beyonce, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers were recognized for their, er, “talents” there. Who is your bet to win the award?
