When the 82nd Annual Academy Awards nominations are announced early tomorrow morning in Beverly Hills at the Samuel Goldwyn Auditorium, there are not expected to be many surprises.  Many believe that Jeff Bridges, Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz will be nominated and the absence of any of their names will be a shock.  The most interesting thing to observe is that ten films will be read out as nominees for best picture.
