【ハリウッドより愛をこめて】“笑い”でオスカー助演俳優部門を席巻する、注目の2人

was the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio was left out of the Best Actors category. Everyone that that FOR SURE he would be nominated for his extraordinary work in the Clint Eastwood film, "J. Edgar".

Another big surprise was that Glenn Close got the nomination for Best Actress (which I was very happy about!!!). Many people were saying that Tilda Swinton or Charlize Theron would probably be in that slot instead.

And probably the biggest surprise of all was the fact that Martin Scorsese’s film "Hugo" was the big winner in the nominations, getting ELEVEN nominations altogether!!! "The Artist", which so far has been the big movie to beat at all the awards ceremonies, received 10 nominations.

There were two nominations that are probably a big surprise to Japanese movie fans...Melissa McCarthy for Best Supporting Actress (for her role in "Bridesmaids")
