This morning at about 8:40amEST the Academy announced the nominations for the Oscars. And District 9 didn't come up dry. After getting nominated for seven British BAFTA Awards, Neill Blomkamp's Sci-Fi opus has achieved four Academy Award nominations.

Nominations for District 9:

Best Picture - Peter Jackson & Carolynne Cummingham
Best Editing - Julian Clarke
Best Adapted Screenplay - Neill Blomkamp & Terri Tatchell
Best Visual Effects - Dan Kaufman, Peter Muyzers, Robert Habros, Matt Aitken

A big congratulations to everyone involved. A bit sad that Blomkamp wasn't nominated for Best Director, but the fact that a science fiction film was nominated for Best Picture is still an achievement. I was expecting the film to be nominated for Best Makeup as well, but can't have everything. Tune in March 7, 2010 to find out the winners.
