Yeah. I wouldn't exactly consider TDK not being nominated a snub.
It's believed by many that TDK's snub was part of the reason they expanded the nominees list.

Many people are silly and/or delusional.
Has it benefited the awards in anyway? If anything it's further cheapened the entire category.

I have a feeling Jlaw is going to lose.
Skyfall won at the ASC awards. That puts it as frontrunner for cinematography.
Well, she was good, but I don't think she should win.
Easily Shakespeare in Love. SPR snub was too big. I don't like Slumdog, but it's at least better than Shakespeare in love.
Grantland has a pretty awesome graphic of the most ridiculous Oscar snubs over the last 40 or so years.
The Academy loves them some romance and some feel good, sentimental shit. oh, and period pieces

Are the Oscars on on a weekend?
Django will be lucky to get Best Original Screenplay.Cristoph Waltz in Django should get the oscar. Django in general should get some, I love the movie. And Skyfall too, that was a great Bond.
What the hell? Rocky is one of the greatest movies of all time. That was one of the few times the Oscars got it right. You could make an argument about Million Dollar Baby's win being bullshit, not Rocky.
Rocky is a legitimatley great movie, but Taxi Driver is perfection.
Plus, Network and All the President's Men are more deserving than Rocky too. Still, I understand the Rocky pick. Optimism over cynicism. The ultimate rags to riches story.
Argo goes 4-for-4 in Guild awards

I know that Django wasn't eligible for the WGA, but I'm hoping it wins Best Original Screenplay next week
You've got to love the little girl in Beasts of the Southern Wild getting a nom, but Keira Knightley missing out. Though admittedly, I've not see Beasts yet.
I stopped watching the Oscars ever since Ellen Burstyn (the mom in Requiem for a Dream) got fucking robbed.

Even people who hate the film will admit that Quvenzhané Wallis is great.

"The King's Speech" over "Social Network" is considered a "travesty"?
I LOL'd

some of those quotes are hilarious.
For the first hour of The Impossible, you cant imagine how Naomi Watts cannot win, but her character basically becomes a person who is exclusively struggling and who disappears for large chunks of the film, so I cant vote for her. I also dont vote for anyone whose name I cant pronounce. Quvez---? Quzen---? Quyzenay? Her parents really put her in a hole by giving her that name -- Alphabet Wallis. The truth is, its a very sweet but immature performance from a 9-year-old. Ive directed children. They probably did a thousand takes and put the best ones together. Jennifer Lawrence I was on the fence about, but she lost me with that Saturday Night Live bit; I thought it was mean-spirited and shows a lack of maturity on her part. So, for me, its between Jessica Chastain and Emmanuelle Riva. I didnt like Amour, but I think Riva was extraordinary in it. Chastain was just fantastic in Zero Dark Thirty -- she is the major star of tomorrow and probably has another 10 Oscar nominations in her future. Meanwhile, Emmanuelle Riva may not even live through Oscar night, so
Count me in this camp as well, loved them both. They play KS on Showtime a lot and I always find myself watching it when I flip passed it.Finally someone who echoes the same sentiment.
I loved Social Network, but King's Speech had more wit and suspense than Social Network. Not to mention the action was superb and the cinematography was great. The only person I know who preferred Social Network over King's Speech is a Sorkin fangirl.
Nah, Firth and Rush are both excellent together, and SN had precisely zero great performances. Looks nice, though.The King's Speech is incredibly dull, looks ridiculously ugly (fuck Tom Hooper and his obsession with dutch angles), and is buoyed by one great performance and a shitload of Weinstein money. Social Network is let down by Sorkin's (as always) indulgent script, but Fincher can do no wrong.
Social Network > King's Speech.
Rumor is the director in that Hollywood Reporter secret ballot article is William Friedkin.
Scorcese not winning till the departed or Kubrick never winning would probably have my vote.
Oh wow didn't see the update, lol yup.
