On January 22nd, 2009
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button nabbed the most Oscar nominations by scoring 13 total nominations for the 81st Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Other best picture nominations are Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire.
Nominations for the 81st Oscars were announced early this morning. My favorites are Kate Winslet, leading role for The Reader, Penelope Cruz, supporting role for Vicky Cristina Barcelonaand Josh Brolin, supporting role for Milk.
Awards will be presented February 22, 2009 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood and will be hosted by Hugh Jackman and air live on ABC-TV.
For a complete list of winners go to Oscars and the taping of the announcement this morning go announcement.
I am a Brad Pitt fan, and the trailer for Benjamin Button looked great. Sitting through the movie though, that was a whole other story. It’s not like I hated the movie, but it’s ridiculous that the movie is getting 13 nominations. Especially with David Fincher receiving a Best Director nod and the movie getting Best Picture. Both of which were chosen over “The Dark Knight”.
