It's no surprise to see The Social Network , The King's Speech , The Fighter and Black Swan getting some recognition, but you'll probably be shocked to see the likes of The Tourist and Alice in Wonderland getting multiple nominations.
In fact, almost the whole 'Best Picture: Comedy or Musical' category comes seems like some kind of elaborate joke...
