Oscar Nominated Movie Filmed in NJ

One of the films up for Oscar consideration has many ties to the Garden State.

"The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke was filmed throughout New Jersey, and features a Golden-Globe winning song by Bruce Springsteen.
    
Jim Cecire, the owner of the Cheeques go-go bar in Linden tells Gannett New Jersey that people have been flocking to the bar to take pictures of it. The outside was featured in the movie, while interior shots were filmed at the Stiletto club in Carlstadt.
    
The filmmakers shot other scenes around the state, including at Vintage Mode in Elizabeth; The Dover Ballroom in Dover; Frenchy's Bar & Grill in Roselle Park; the Boys & Girls Club of Garfield; the Mieleville Mobile Home Park in Hazlet and inside a casino in Asbury Park.
