2011 Oscar Nominations Announced

The Social Network may be the favorite for Best Picture at the Oscars however it didn’t lead the field in nominations. The King’s Speech instead has earned the most nominations with 12 followed by True Grit with 10. Surprisingly Christopher Nolan is not in the field for Best Director despite eight nominations for Inception which tied it with The Social Network.

The 83rd Academy Awards ceremony takes place on February 27th and will be hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway.
