Which Peter Jackson film was nominated for three Academy Awards at the 82nd ceremony?
Answer
The Lovely Bones
Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones was nominated for three Academy Awards at the 82nd ceremony.
The nominations recognized Stanley Tucci for Supporting Actor and the film for Makeup and Visual Effects. Jackson adapted the film from Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel, which follows Susie Salmon as she observes her family after her death.
The movie stars Saoirse Ronan as Susie, Mark Wahlberg as her father Jack, Rachel Weisz as her mother Abigail, and Tucci as George Harvey. Its awards profile is sometimes mixed up with Jackson’s King Kong, which won three Oscars at the 78th Academy Awards.
The Lovely Bones was released in 2009. It combines a family drama with supernatural and crime-story elements rather than presenting a conventional fantasy adventure.
