Bježeći od Obamine inauguracije, američka Akademija objavila je nominacije za nagradu Oscar dva dana kasnije nego što je uobičajeno. Kako se i predviđalo, glavni su favoriti uspješno prošli u uži izbor i sad čekaju odluku krajem veljače.

Po broju nominacija vodi The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Davida Finchera s Brad Pittom u glavnoj ulozi, no najveći favorit za glavne nagrade ipak je Slumdog Millionaire redatelja besmrtnog Trainspottinga, Škota Danny Boylea.
