84th Academy Awards Nominees

Just last night, Velvet announced that they'll be broadcasting the Announcement of the Nominees for the 84th Academy Awards but due to technical difficulties, it didn't happen. Velvet apologizes over their Facebook page. Since I just got back to blogging, I have no knowledge on most of the movies and people nominated this year, so I have to cope up. Here are the nominees for this year's Oscar Awards. I also put a countdown until that date. (The countdown is intended for Philippine territory, as we know we are few hours ahead of United States.)
