This morning at 5:38 AM the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak and Oscar-nominated actress and Academy member Anne Hathaway announced the nominations for 10 of the 24 categories for the 2010 Oscars, followed by a press release with the other 14 category nominees.
The complete list of nominees can be found directly below with Avatar and The Hurt Locker leading the pack with nine nominations each. Inglourious Basterds pulled in eight and Precious and Up In the Air earned six each. I will be posting a reaction piece very shortly, but in all honesty there is only one nomination that surprises me and I think proves the ten nominees for Best Picture are just silly.
