This is such GREAT NEWS!

	Update Brought to you by Oceanic Preservation Society	February 2, 2010
	Oscar® Nomination For The Cove It's official. This morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced their nominations for the best films of 2009. The Cove was among the picks for best Feature Documentary. This is big news for the OPS team. Big news for message-based film. And of course, big news for the oceans. Director, Louie Psihoyos is thrilled. "The reason the Oscar® nomination is so important for me is because it's the most watched program in Japanese television. I didn't get into movies to win awards. I got into making this movie to start a movement to save the ocean. I've been trying to give the oceans a voice and an Oscar® nomination amplifies that voice." Winning Streak For those of you following The Cove as it barrels through this amazing award season, you know. For those of you who haven't heard, we are winning many epic awards. Congrats to all involved. Director's Guild Awards - Best Documentary Producers Guild of America -PGA Producer of the Year Award in Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures Broadcast Film Critics - Critics Choice Award, Best Documentary National Board of Review - Best Documentary LA Film Critics Association - Co-winner Best Documentary The Mission Continues Kudos. Awards. Media mentions. This is all good but the work we do here at OPS continues. Donations of all sizes are still needed to help us end the dolphin slaughter in Taiji. Thanks for your continued support.
