A SERIOUS MAN NOMINATED FOR TWO ACADEMY AWARDS.
A Serious Man, written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, has been nominated for two Academy Awards in the categories of best picture and best original screenplay.
A Serious Man is about Larry Nidus who is a good man. He is a loving husband, a committed father, and a dedicated professor who always does the fair and just thing in the face of daily temptations. But one day, everything starts to go wrong. His wife leaves him for reasons she can't explain, and her smug new lover manages to convince Larry that he should be the one to move out of the house and into a cheap motel - all for the children's benefit, of course.
The nominations were announced in Beverly Hills by Academy Award nominated actress Anne Hathaway and president of the Academy, Tom Sherak .
The 82nd Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 7th at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
