Well we are just getting over the Grammy Awards and right on the back of them comes the 2010 Oscars! Yes, Anne Hathaway and Tom Sherak announced the eagerly awaited nominees. The 82nd Annual Academy Awards will take place on March 7 at Hollywood’s Kodak Theater, hosted by Steve Martin and that ahem.. ’slimeball’ sorry.. I mean Alec Baldwin!

Here at wow.ie, we’re pretty excited because where there’s a big event such as this we expect a flurry of celebrities donning exciting, beautiful gowns. I have listed the nominees for best actress below and best supporting actress, lets take a look at who we can look forward to seeing on March 7th:

BEST ACTRESS

Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

Carey Mulligan, An Education

Helen Mirren, The Last Station

Gabourey Sidibe, Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air

Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air

I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to seeing Sandra Bullock and Penelope Cruz especially. It’s nice that there is a mix up in regards to the nominnes ages as they will each have a style of their own I’m sure. I can’t wait to see Helen Mirren either, she is such a lady.
