Zero Dark Thirty Gets Criticism for Depictions of Torture, Accuracy
Oscar nominated film
And finally tonight, this was Oscar nomination day.
The civil war-era drama "Lincoln" led the pack with 12 nominations, followed by the fantasy "Life of Pi" with 11, and "Les Miserables" with eight.
Another new film, "Zero Dark Thirty," looking at contemporary history, received five nominations, including for best picture, best screenplay and best actress. But even before it's been released nationally, the film is generating a great deal of debate.
