She's certainly looking to be the next Meryl Streep. (17 nominations in 34 years, out of which she won 3.)

I think Silver Linings Playbook may be the first film ever that has a shot at winning Picture, Director, Writing, and the four acting awards. Not gonna happen, but it's something, I guess.

They picked Waltz over DiCaprio in Django? What the fuck?

Also, even though I greatly enjoyed Lincoln. I think they're being WAY too generous here.

It's a film about the most beloved president in history, with the most Oscar-friendly cast ever. It was never not going to clean up in the nominations department.

Even Sally Field, who is pretty awful in this, was always going to get a nomination, because she's Sally Field, and she's in a Spielberg film about Lincoln.

Weak year for AAA titles, indies were the best, just wait until we get the new consoles.

Lincoln sweeps because there's nothing else.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Another year, another complete disavowal of Jonny Greenwood's film score.

I thought the sound design and Jonny's score were the greatest things about the movie's besides the amazing performances.

Not true. Network was nominated for the 4 acting awards, screenplay, director and picture during the 1977 awards. It actually won 3 of the four acting awards, plus screenplay, which is better than I see SLP making out.

EDIT: Coming Home and Reds did the same thing in 1978 and 1981. I'm sure there were others as well previous to that. It has been many years since this was the case though.

Going by their picks this year for scores, it was clear that they were aiming for the most completely inoffensive scores imaginable. When Skyfall is the best I've heard out of that bunch, the situation is dire.

I honestly can't recall anything about Argo's score.

Silver Linings Playbook is good, but no chance in hell should (or will) it win Best Picture this year. Maybe if Russell hadn't castrated his own film in the third act, it would've been a great movie but... eh.

The Master was never getting nominated for Best Picture because the Weinstein's got too cocky and rushed the release too early in the season and were completely fucked when it fizzled out quick. Frankly, I didn't love the film, but I'm surprised all three leads got acting nods, I thought one of them (Phoenix maybe) might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Having said that, no Bigelow or Hooper is fantastic. Hopefully this gives Tarantino a chance with the Screenplay category given there seems to be a bit of backlash against ZDT (and, let's face it, ZDT's screenplay blows).

In short, I fucking loved Lincoln and give DDL all the awards.

Zuh, it's nominated for best cinematography. The photography and its theater-gimmick really was that movie's only merit.

I must have seen a wrong list earlier.

Yeah, it was a very pretty movie. The editing in the middle of the movie was superb, in my opinion. The supporting actors were good (Jude Law, the chick from Luther, Steva/Darcy, Kodstya especially).

It's always tough to adapt a book like this.

I've only just found out that Judith Dench won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, despite only being in the film for 8 minutes. What the hell?!

Couple random notes:
-No Affleck for best director? What the shit? Probably my favorite film of the year (still haven't seen all the nominees though).
-Great to see Skyfall for Cinematography, and I hope it wins, but Lincoln's was great as well. Would have been nice to see The Hobbit get a cinematography nod as well.

How the hell did Affleck not get nominated for Best Director?

That's my only complaint as I haven't seen a bunch of "Oscar" movies this year or in the last few years for that matter.

Beatrice Straight won the Supporting Actress Oscar for the movie "Network", and she was on screen for only five minutes, forty seconds.

No fucking way Jackman deserved a nom for Les Mis. He was surprisingly terrible.
Click to expand...

Other than a few strong singing performances, the entire movie was disappointing. I've seen Les Mis live, and it works a lot better as a play than a 2.5 hour movie.

EDIT: I don't think that Jackman was particularly bad though.

I remember that year. Pure ridiculousness that Shakespeare in Love won. All of those other movies occasionally occur to me. The only time I remember SiL is when I'm thinking about bad Academy Award choices.

First year in awhile that I'm interested in seeing almost all the Best Picture noms. Been a boring a couple of years.

All I've seen so far though are Les Mis and Django. Been warned away from Pi. How long do I have?!

At least Looper wasn't nominated for best original screenplay. What in the shit were some of those critic circles thinking.

You should still see Life of Pi, if only for the visuals. It is quite astonishing in that department.

Whoever warned you away from Life of Pi is not worth listening to regarding films. Obviously every film is hated by someone, but I think that Life of Pi was one of the more universally likable films of the year.

Similar nominations happened for Viola Davis in Doubt and Ruby Dee in American Gangster.

Alan Arkin's role in Little Miss Sunshine was pretty brief as well. 8 minutes on screen is pretty extreme, but a lot of nominees for the supporting roles don't get much more than 15 minutes of screen time.

As far as I know, there is no time requirement for either award category. The studios decide if they want to campaign a role for supporting or lead actor. Technically you could have a best lead actor nominee with 15-20 minutes of screen time.

it's not movie of the year material, but should definitely watch it if you get the chance, even if it's just for the visuals. It's a very likable movie, I can't imagine anyone end up hating it.

Oddly, the only snub that annoys me is the lack of Impostor in the Documentary noms.

Film was brilliant. 96% on RT with >100 reviews; so it seems most people agreed.

Oh well. At least Django got Best Picture and Tarantino got Best Original screenplay.
