While most of the country is still waiting to get its first glimpse of "Black Swan," the ballet drama starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis has already pirouetted into awards season with a record 12 nominations for the 16th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards. The show will air live on VH1 on January 14 at 9 p.m. ET from the Hollywood Palladium.
Darren Aronofsky's dance thriller wasn't the only film racking up serious love, with the Coen brothers' remake of "True Grit" and the stammering royal drama "The King's Speech" each picking up 11 nominations as well. One of the year's other critically acclaimed hits, "Inception," got 10 nominations, while "The Social Network" snagged nine.
Among the nods picked up by "Swan" were nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (Portman), Best Supporting Actress (Kunis), Best Director (Aronofsky), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Sound and Best Score.
The Best Picture race was packed with solid contenders, including "127 Hours," "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "Inception," "The King's Speech," "The Social Network," "The Town," "Toy Story 3," "True Grit" and "Winter's Bone." Competition was also tight in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, which pit Jeff Bridges ("True Grit") against Robert Duvall ("Get Low"), Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network"), Colin Firth ("The King's Speech"), James Franco ("127 Hours") and Ryan Gosling ("Blue Valentine"), as well as Annette Bening ("The Kids Are All Right") against Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole"), Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone"), Portman ("Black Swan"), Noomi Rapace ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") and Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine"). The actress bid was the record seventh acting nomination for Kidman, who won the award 15 years ago for "To Die For." Among the other nominations: Best Makeup and Best Visual Effects notices for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1," Best Visual Effects for "Tron: Legacy" and noms for Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" for Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Best Visual Effects.
It could be a good night for 13-year-old actress Chloe Grace Moretz, who was nominated in the Best Young Actor/Actress category twice for "Let Me In" and "Kick-Ass."
