    It will be neat if True Grit wins best actor again. John Wayne won an academy award for his performance in that movie. And Inception better win original screenplay! Kings Speech and Fighter were great but Inception was an amazing mind twisting story. I though Carrie Underwood was up for an academy award for her song in Narnia.

      I was surprised that True Grit received as many nominations as it did. Especially since the film was mostly overlooked at the Golden Globes. I agree Inception should win original screenplay but I think it has some steep competition this year with The King's Speech raking in 12 nominations. Personally, I am putting all my support behind The Social Network. My favorite film of 2010. Thanks for the feedback, Scarlet!
