The Academy Award nominations were announced Tuesday with several sports films getting recognized. The film Moneyball, about how the Oakland Athletics reinvented how to build a winning baseball team, received six Oscar nominations. Also, Nick Nolte received a nomination for his role in the mixed martial arts film Warrior.

There were no hockey movies nominated (the fact there were no hockey movies released last year is simply a technicality), so what better way to celebrate the Oscar nominations than by handing out some hardware to some of hockey's best.
