The 2009 Critics Consensus Award Nominations
A record-equalling eight nominations for Inglourious Basterds at the 2009 Critics Consensus Awards, kicking off its fifth and current decade. It leads all nominees, which include a robust five for the Coen brothers' A Serious Man including Best Picture and Director, and a second consecutive animation in Picture: Pixar's Up, which will hope to match WALL-E's extraordinary win from the year prior. Best Actress Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is absent here in what's one of the finest Actress lineups you'll see in these or any other awards.
