Posted By Mike on January 25, 2011

Fresh off her Golden Globes Best Actress win, Natalie Portman has now been nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role.

The film is up for Best Motion Picture and also received nominations for:

- Achievement in Directing - Darren Aronofsky

As for Natalie's competition in the best actress category, she'll be competing against:
