Kathryn Bigelow, THE BLIND SIDE Producer Broderick Johnson: Oscar Nominees Luncheon Photo

Share Kathryn Bigelow laughs with Broderick Johnson 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. Kathryn Bigelow is only the fourth woman to be nominated in the Best Director category. She’s also the expected winner — if so, she’ll be making Oscar history. Broderick Johnson is one of the three The Blind Side producers nominated for an Oscar. The Academy usually only allows at most three producers per film to receive an Oscar nomination.
