There’s little of Kiwi interest in the awards, but Neill Blomkamp picks up a Best Screenplay nomination for District 9 up against Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker; Nancy Meyers, It’s Complicated; Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air; and Quentin Tarantino for Inglorious Basterds.
All the films Blomkamp is up against are nominated for Best Drama or Best Musical/Comedy.
