Also nominated for best picture were James Franco's survival tale
"127 Hours," Natalie Portman's ballet drama "Black Swan,"
Ben Stiller's dark romance "Greenberg" and Annette Bening's lesbian
family drama "The Kids Are All Right." The awards will be presented
Feb. 26, the day before the Academy Awards. "Winter's Bone," which
won the top prize at last winter's Sundance Film Festival, also earned a
best-actress nomination for Lawrence, who stars as an Ozark Mountains teen on a
desperate search through the region's criminal underbelly to find her missing
father and save her family home.
The film also picked up supporting-acting
slots for Hawkes and Dickey, a directing nomination for Debra Granik, a
screenplay honor for Granik and co-writer Anne Rosellini, and a cinematography
nomination.
"The Kids Are All Right" was second with five nominations,
including a best-actress honor for Bening and a supporting-actor slot for Mark
Ruffalo. Co-star Julianne Moore missed out on a nomination for the comic drama
about parents whose teenage children make contact with their biological
father.
