MAIN Arrow to Arts & CultureArts & Culture Arrow to MoviesMovies Arrow to Oscar Awards 2010 Oscar Awards




The 82nd annual Academy Awards will air live from Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday, March 7, 2010 on ABC at 8 PM ET.

Meanwhile, the full official roster of nominees were announced on February 2, 2010.

This year, 10 major Hollywood films were nominated for best picture, in a clever move by the Academy to further popularize the Oscars with a wider audience. Hopefully, the new format will keep more viewers glued to their TVs on Oscar night to see if their favorite movie or Hollywood star wins.

Hosting duties this year go to the quirky combo of actor Alec Baldwin and comedian Steve Martin, who co-star in the December release "It's Complicated" opposite Meryl Streep. This will be the first time the Oscars have featured a hosting duo since Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in 1987.

2010 Oscar Buzz

With nominees officially announced on February 2, watch for these Hollywood hits to continue to generate buzz throughout the entire awards season:

An Education - The early Sundance favorite with a nationwide release in theaters in October, it's the coming-of-age story about a teenage girl in 1960s London played by 24-year-old Carey Mulligan (and a shoe-in for a Best Actress nod.)

The Hurt Locker - High tension and great acting combine in this thriller about an elite Army bomb squad in Iraq.

Invictus - Brilliant casting scores in this epic that chronicles Nelson Mandela's efforts to bring the 1995 Rugby World Cup to South Africa following the fall of Apartheid. Starring Matt Damon as South Africa's rugby team captain and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.

Up - This year's Wall-E, a funny and poignant animated tale about a 70-year-old man and an 8-year-old boy on a wild adventure in South America.

Avatar - James Cameron's fantasy sci-fi blockbuster, from the people who brought you Titanic. Have you at least seen the trailer? That is all.

Just up ahead, check out the complete list 2010 nominees along with links to red carpet pictures & video clips, forum postings & discussions, and related expert commentary on the movie industry's most coveted prize ...
