Anna Kendrick: Academy-Award nominee

The nominations are in and Anna Kendrick can now officially add Academy Award nominee to her credentials. Anna is now in official contention for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in the upcoming 82nd Academy Awards. The nominations were announced yesterday by President Tom Sherak and actress Anne Hathaway at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

In an interview with MTV, here is what Anna has to say about her nomination:

“I am thrilled beyond words to be nominated with these talented and inspiring women,” the ebullient, 24-year-old actress said in a statement after learning she had been nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her role in the George Clooney drama many consider to be among the best of the year. “Being involved in a film as special as ‘Up in the Air’ was a dream come true. I am overwhelmed and honored by this nomination and am so grateful to be able to share this experience with George, Vera and Jason.”

She also posted in her twitter account:

“I’d love to say that 140 characters couldn’t cover how I’m feeling right now,” she wrote. “But I’m honestly speechless.”

The awards will be held on March 5,2010 at the Nokia Theatre and will be broadcast live over at ABC starting 5PM PT/8 PM ET.

Congratulations ANNA!

    Loved the movie. Great performance by Anna Kendrick as a “Keener”. Had only one reservation with the crying scene, when her boyfriend texted leaving her. The text message “free to see other people” was a cliche, and her sobbing was what you would expect in a high school production. It needed a retake. But, as a young person trying new ideas, calling George Clooney old, an emotional twelve year old, and an asshole, that was class on George’s part, and Oscar material on Anna’s.
    Ryan’s shock at discovering Alex’s family status reminded me of so many stock scenes, but especially the one in “Middle Age Crazy” (1980) when the male lead knocks on the door of the Dallas Cowboy cheer leader to find her with another man. The line in that film, “No strings, no people” sums it up.
