The cast and crew of the Clint Eastwood directed movie Invictus came away empty handed from the 82nd Academy Awards.

The film had been nominated for two awards.

Morgan Freeman was a nominee for Best Actor in a leading role for his portrayal of former South African president Nelson Mandela.

Co-star Matt Damon was in line for Best Supporting Actor for playing the part of ex-Springbok captain Francois Pienaar.

Invictus had been hailed by critics as ‘genuinely inspiring’ (Rolling Stone) and ‘soul-stirring' (Newsweek).

The film reportedly has grossed almost $100 million worldwide since its December release.
