Utöver presidentvalet, Superbowl och när McDonalds får något nytt på menyn, är Oscarsgalan den allra största händelsen i USA. Varje år bänkar sig miljontals människor framför tv:n för att under ett par timmar bli översköljda av ohälsosamt mycket glitter och glamour.
Idag presenterades nomineringarna till årets gala, som hålls den 7 mars. Och det kommer att bli en rafflande kamp mellan två exmakar. Katherine Bigelows krigsfilm,
The hurt locker, och James Camerons sci-fi-äventyr,
Avatar, har nämligen båda fått hela nio nomineringar var!
