To check nominations in all categories go here and to check winners in all categories go here.

In case you’re wondering why the film that was submitted to 2011 Oscar is not in the list check last year nominations to find that was nominated; so maybe one of this year nominations will end up being submitted for next Oscar. Can’t believe that Toni Servillo was not nominated, is a terrible omission but haven’t watch La Nostra Vita (too melodramatic for my taste) but maybe now will watch to see if Elio Germano was superior to Toni Servillo.
