<strong>127 Hours<\/strong> has picked up 6 nominations including a well deserved Best Actor nod for <strong>James Franco <\/strong>who has really put himself in the limelight with his brilliant yet lonely performance as Aron Ralston in this true story directed by the Oscar winning director of Slumdog Millionaire &#8211;
