Black Sheep presents The 2010 Mouton d'Or Awards

It is my pleasure today to announce to you the 2010 Mouton d'Or Award nominations. This is the sixth year Black Sheep Reviews has produced this list and this year's nominees are some of the strongest contenders we've ever had. Leading this year's charge is David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, with a total of eight nominations, including of course Best Picture and Best Director. Darren Aronofsky's BLACK SWAN is second in the tally standings, with seven nominations, also including Best Picture. The rest of the Best Picture race is rounded out by multiple nominees, THE FIGHTER (6 nods), THE KING'S SPEECH (6) and TOY STORY 3 (5). This year's Best Picture nominees are all masterful films, each a personal best in its own right. It will be difficult to pick a winner but worth it if it means getting to watch all these fantastic works one more time.

I am also very happy with this year's Reader's Choice nominations. Once again, the Black Sheep readers have voiced their love for some great films and this year's five nominees include some wonderful surprises, including an Italian art film and a dark horse movie about the maddening world of ballet. Thanks to all who participated by submitting lists of their favourite films from 2010. Voting is now open to decide the winner of the category. Just cast your vote in the poll at the top of the sidebar. Voting will remain open until midnight on Thursday, February 17.

The winners of the 2010 Mouton d'Or Awards will be announced on Saturday, February 19. And so, without any further delay, here are the 2010 Mouton d'Or Award nominations ...
