The 83rd Academy Awards Ceremony was held Sunday, February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, California. The event was broadcast live on ABC beginning at 5pm PT/8pm ET. The ceremony was hosted this year by Anne Hathaway and James Franco.

Academy members from each of the branches voted to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and Foreign Language Film categories, nominations are selected by vote of multi-branch screening committees.

All voting members were eligible to select the Best Picture nominees. This is the second year to have 10 nominees instead of the five that were nominated previous to 2009.

Many of the nominated movies are still in theaters, or will be making a return visit as a result of winning, so it's not too late to see them for yourself on the big screen!

Quite a few of them are also available on Blu-ray and DVD. To find a winner or nominee on home video, please visit Oscar Central on Amazon.com
