The Nominees Are...

Here are the Conor Award Nominees for 2010. Before we get to them, let me just say that this year in film seemed a little bit lean until the end. I saw a good deal of these movies recently, and can say that I was impressed that 2010 finished strong at the megaplex. The Fighter garnered a nomination in every category, while the notable snubs were Jeff Bridges' mumble mouth performance in True Grit and Justin Timberlake as the Napster guy in The Social Network. Maybe next year, boys. The nominees are...
