Only the third animated film to be nominated for Best Picture, it holds its own among the rest of 2010's nominations with an engaging, relatable tale about preserving friendship and embracing change.

- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsNatalie PortmanMila KunisVincent CasselNina is a talented but unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her artistic director and a seductive rival, Nina's grip on reality slips, plunging her into a waking nightmare.A psycho-sexual horror-fest. I have no idea why this was nominated.
