Counting down the days and hours until the 82nd Oscars on Sunday? Well, join the club! How could anyone forget? I’m pretty sure over the past two weeks I think it’s the only entertainment news I’ve seen over the internet and every time I turn my T.V. So unless you’ve been living under a rock or have a life, you know that the award show is on Sunday, March 7th on ABC at 8 EST/ 7 CST. Should be an interesting show, a lot of “firsts” this year for the Oscars. Like, will Kathryn Bigelow be the first woman director to win for Hurt Locker? (Get it girl!) There have only been four women, including Bigelow to even be nominated under the category. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will host the show; the first time ever there are two hosts. Don’t miss out because for the next month, I believe that is the only thing people will be talking about.
So here are the Nominees for 2010 (I’ve always wanted to say that!)
