Meryl Streep and Colin Firth are all smiles at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday, February 15, 2010.
Best Actress nominee Meryl Streep is in the running for the comedy Julie & Julia, in which she plays Julia Child. It's Streep's 16th Oscar nod and her 13th in the Best Actress category. Streep currently has more overall acting nominations, nominations as a leading performer, and losses (13 times) than any other actor or actress. Colin Firth received his first Oscar nod for his bereaved gay college professor in Tom Ford's A Single Man.
The 2010 Academy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 7 at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center. In the United States, it’ll be televised live by ABC.

Ha, you're right soupy! I've seen 4 of the 5 best actor nominees' films (not Invictus-not interested) and Firth's is the best. Unfortunately, he's not 'hollywood' or celebrity news, so a win is highly doubtful.
Colin Firth is soo handsome :) Although I'm sure it's out of context, the guy on the left looks peeved at Firth for being in the limelight – kinda funny :)
