| Yes, and even if you want to use your logic, it is still very inconsistent. Up in the Air and Invictus were released in the same year (2009) and were nominated at the same Oscars (2010).
But the other posters are correct, the Oscars award films in the year prior. The 2009 Academy Awards winners were Hurt Locker, Bigelow, Bullock, Bridges, etc. Even though the show aired in 2010, it awarded 2009 movies. |
