Shadows @ the Oscars
82nd Academy Awards Nominations Tue 2.Feb.10 • Awards Sun 7.Mar.10 Rich's comments: Having 10 Best Picture nominations throws everything into a spin this year, although it's not quite as radical as it looks. Sure, this is proof that fantasy has officially made it into the mainstream (Avatar, District 9, Up and, erm, Inglourious Basterds), but there's still no room for comedies or rom-coms. Note the shut-out for the acclaimed (500) Days of Summer and just one nomination for Julie & Julia (even though Stanley Tucci deserved his nod for this, not The Lovely Bones). Note the absence of the year's most winning doc, the comical Anvil! The one exception is the hugely deserving In the Loop, although under the laughter it's actually a political thriller...
