I guess all of those family outings didn't help Ben get his director nom after all.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Lawrence 2nd nomination since 2011, good for her.
Quvenzhané Wallis is only 8 or 9 I believe.
I can't believe Silver Linings Playbook got so many noms. I'm surprised Kathryn Bigelow wasn't nominated for Zero Dark Thirty. None of it matters though. Lincoln is going to win most of them.
ReplyDeleteI thought ZDT was totally overrated. But Life of Pi was wonderful. Much better list than Peoples Choice
ReplyDeleteTarantino and Affleck weren't nominated. Bummer. Guess no more Daddy and Me days for Affleck anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteBC nominated for best actor?? Isn't that one of the signs? Start stockpiling canned goods!
ReplyDeleteThere are actually movies on this list I'd like to see. That makes me happy.
I can't believe they left off Liz and Dick for best picture.
ReplyDelete@FSP, they don't have refined taste like us
DeleteMy favorite director, Paul Thomas Anderson, wasn't even nominated. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of these movies, but I'm going to see Zero Dark Thirty tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm not totally surprised by the nominations, but is Bradley Cooper worthy of a Best Actor nom?
I may get flamed for this, but is Helen Hunt really that good? I was surprised when she won years ago. I always think of her from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
I really want Joaquin to win. Besides the fact that he's my celebrity boyfriend, he is a fantastic actor and deserves an Oscar. Same with Leo.
I'd really like to see Beasts of the Southern Wild. I watched them announce the noms and was surprised at how skinny Emma Stone really is.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Emma is so skinny and blonde now, it sort of detracts from her appeal. She was so cute in that way that was unique before
Delete@FSP, me too. And LiLo for Best Actress.
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn shame, karen.
DeleteAhh much better list than the Peoples Choice. Surprised to see Affleck not on Best Director. I think he deserved that to be quite honest.
ReplyDeleteWhat did Leo do to piss off the Academy so much? That boy can't catch a break.
And also happy to see Joaquin and Jennifer Lawrence make the cut.
Leo banged every VIctoria's Secret Angel ever. The Academy thinks that's reward enough!
DeleteHave any of you seen Silver Linings Playbook?
ReplyDeleteI have! The cast is really good so I'm not surprised they're all nominated...good movie!
DeleteI want Joaquin to win to see if he will place nice or say something totally outrageous after months of knocking the Oscars publicly.
ReplyDeleteI thought Marion Cotillard would've gotten a nom.
ReplyDeleteLove Marion, but she won too recently. They like to make you want it a bit
Delete@ frufra Ha! I had the same reaction. The end is coming indeed

ReplyDeleteI am pissed off that Samuel L. Jackson didn't get the nom from "Django". I went into the movie rooting for Leo, but SLJ totally stole that movie, IMO.

ReplyDeleteYes!! All the movies I planned to see and never got around to it. I feel validated. ;-P
ReplyDeletePopnursing---Mo'Noique won after her 'fuck awards' campaign; I think Academy members like to reward it, to pretend they're above it all. IMO, ignoring an actor's protestations only provides a nice smokescreen for the nomination/ awards process for the Best Picture & Director awards.
ReplyDeletejmo.

ReplyDeleteToo many snubs to list but I hope Hugh Jackman wins. Bravo to JLaw!
ReplyDeleteI'm still kind of pissed about the best director snubs. No Affleck or QT?
NO AFFLECK?!? But Joaquin, who totally trashed the Oscars gets nominated?
Affleck got snubbed for Best Director. I'm surprised by that.
ReplyDeleteSilver Linings Playbooks was amazing. I hate the douche but I have to say he was really good in it along with Jennifer Lawrence. And anytime the two were on screen together - magic.
ReplyDeleteI'm just SO glad to see Denzel Washington nominated for Flight!
ReplyDeleteHe may be an asshole in real life, but so what? He was fantastic in that role, and that's all that matters.
...though Daniel Day Lewis has it wrapped up for Lincoln.
I haven't seen any of these movies. where's the nom for cabin in the woods?
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw Silver Linings Playbook and it's really good. I'm glad it got noms and yes Cooper did a great job. But Best Picture and Best Actor? They won't win. The nomination is enough. And if Cooper were to win an Oscar when Leo hasn't? That would be messed up. But yes, Silver Linings Playbook is a very sweet dramedy.
ReplyDelete@Reno-I heard silver linings playbook was *really* good, fwiw.
ReplyDeleteJoaquin was excellent in The Master, glad he got a nom.
Yay for Jennifer Lawrence, a former Kentucky girl!
I have a lot of movies to catch up on before the Oscars!
On the bright side, Katy Perry was acting like she expected at least a nomination after her song was declared 'eligible' for Best Original Song---Remember she was insufferable about it? NOT nominated, thank GOD.
ReplyDeleteHow is Hitchcock getting nominated for best makeup? I don't think Anthony Hopkins looked anything like Hitchcock.
ReplyDeleteI think Adele has the song Oscar wrapped up for Skyfall
ReplyDeleteFo sho
Delete@Reno--I saw Silver Linings, and it really was incredible. I LOVED it. Very funny but not trying too hard. And I hate to say it, but Bradley Cooper was fantastic. So was Jennifer Lawrence, but I thought BC was the standout.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe such few noms for Django. THE D IS SILENT! I loved that movie too, but I'm a sucker for Tarantino. I'm not shocked that Waltz was the only one with an acting nom, but no director for Quentin?? This was probably my favorite Tarantino movie after Pulp Fiction. The guy's a lunatic, but he's a genius.
Just for fun here's my guesses: best supporting male actor: Christopher Wilkins Django Unchained, female best supporting: anne goaway, best male lead: Daniel Day lewis, Lincoln, best director: Steven Spielberg best picture: Lincoln best actress: naomi watts.
ReplyDelete@Anna Namiss
Delete"anne GOaway" hahaha I love it
James Spader was robbed! lincoln is going to clean up, and he gave the best performance in it.
ReplyDelete@JenX, he was so funny!
DeleteJenX, are you the same JenX who does a piece on KOSU once a week? If so, kudos - I always love it.
DeleteIf not, hello anyway :-).
Lmao FSP.
ReplyDeleteAnna Namiss--Agree 100%. Lincoln, unfortunately, will win a lot. They just love Spielberg. The only one I'd actually be happy about with those is Christopher Waltz. He was SICK in Django. That guy steals every single scene he's in....
ReplyDeleteShiiiite that was hard for me to read, mainly because I still cannot open my eyes. Thank you flu.
ReplyDeleteFrom all that I have read on here about the Coop it really irks me that he got a best actor nom. And I literally just watched Kathy Lee say she was so excited for him. *Sigh*
I haven't finished watching Life of Pi yet, but what I have seen was pretty great.
I have never even heard of Beasts of the Southern Wild or Amour.
I really hope Sally Field wins best supporting actress and not Anne Hathaway. Actually, I hope anyone who is not A.H. wins. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteI loved Lincoln so I'm glad it received a lot of nominations. Bradley Cooper is going to be insufferable now that he got a nod. Life of Pi seems like a nice movie and I'm actually rooting for Jessica Chastain to get the Oscar, I've watched her in a couple of movies and she's very talented.
ReplyDeleteAffleck to Academy; "Argo f*** yourself!!!"
ReplyDeleteI think I am the only one who didn't love Lincoln. Yes, I loved DDL in the role, but the film didn't do it for me. And I couldn't stop thinking, "That's Sally Field!" when she was on the screen...That said, go see Beasts of the Southern Wild if you can. It's an amazingly different film and great, great acting.
ReplyDeleteSilver Linings is also a good movie and very true to life regarding bipolar...
I thought Lincoln was good, but wasn't really impressed w/ Sally or Tommy Lee. If it wins Best Picture, it just shows it was a weak year.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Day Lewis could get Best Actor and I'd have no complaints though.
Lincoln will win because it's Spielberg, which is unfortunate because it was a really good year.
DeleteI'm so happy to see Robert DeNiro being nominated. He's done such crap movies for years and years, and he's so talented. It's so great to see him also in a movie that's being nominated for best movie too.
ReplyDeleteBen Affleck for Senator? :-\
ReplyDeleteI've only seen Les Miserables and I hope both Hugh and Anne win. I will probably cry when/if they do, since I pretty much cried through the entire movie. I was actually most moved by Anne's performance, though. I guess she's said some unfortunate things in interviews lately, but I wish she wasn't getting so much hate.
ReplyDeleteVERY sad to see Affleck snubbed for Best Director. He did an incredible job.
ReplyDeleteEveryone I know who saw Silver Linings thought it was good on the side of meh and that JLaw was the best part. B Coop, really?! Haven't enjoyed him since Alias.
ReplyDeleteI guess Clooney has enough power to get himself nominated, but not enough for people to like Affleck. He won't be seen with his kids again 'til the next film.
I didn't see Les Mis yet (I know, I'm a bad musical theater kid) but I did see The Master and Amy Adams was great. She keeps losing to her co-stars too. I think they want to give it to her, but it'll prob go Hathaway. Like someone mentioned earlier, Anne may fall prey to the supporting actress curse and won't be in a good film ever again. She may be talking about it forever, but no one will care by next year.
The Academy won't nominate Leo because he's never had any formal training and won't kiss their ass. He won't get nominated until some of the old, bitchy purists die.
Quentin and Kathryn Bigelow didn't get nominated because hateful bitches (Spike and James Cameron) poisoned the well.
Yes please let Hugh get this. But I still think the academy is shit. Kathryn was robbed. So was Ben.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI agree that James Spader was robbed; that SLP was "on the meh side of good" and that Jennifer Lawrence was the best thing in it.
Shocked to see David Russell's name and not Kathryn Bigelow's. Maybe it's because I think -- How can you not reward a person who stopped production and started over with a new script when Bin Laden was killed? Just the idea of doing that, of scrambling, is amazing to me.
Ok rant over.
There definitely should have been more Django noms. Every lead in that movie was awesome, except maybe Jamie Foxx.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it'll be a night of thirds: Third Oscar for Spielberg, third for Day Lewis and possibly a third for De Niro.
ReplyDeleteComposer John Williams might win his 6th Oscar.
And Lindsay might win $0.50 from a scratch ticket that night.
I am so happy that Joaquin Phoenix was nominated! He was brilliant in The Master and he deserves to win. Such an amazing actor
ReplyDeleteJBE---LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the Leo information...I thought he was robbed of being nominated for an Oscar for the Howard Hughes movie he did a while back.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the acting in silver linings
ReplyDeleteshocked no director nods for qt an bigelow
Jack black robbed for supporting actor!
Argo was just ok to me
now that life of pi I loved
Thanks for all the reviews you guys!
ReplyDeleteAFFLECK and TARANTINO both robbed of a nomination !
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did anyone see that movie Flight, that Denzel Washington got nominated for ? Did he deserve that nomination ?
ReplyDelete@Turkish Taffy
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA Good one!
I loooooved the Silver Linings Playbook. And I truly think BC deserved that nom but I sure as hell didn't think he was gonna get it. John Hawkes was snubbed, jmo. Love that Emmanuelle Riva was nominated and not Marion C. Cannot believe The Intouchbles was not nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. Best film of 2012. I follow these things too much. I'm an Oscar bitch.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm also pissed about the Affleck and PTA snub in Directing. They deserved it.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Anne Hathaway doesn't win. She was good in the role, but it will give her a bigger ego than she already has.
ReplyDeleteI saw Les Mis and was shocked by how short Anne's part was after all the fawning over her. And maybe it's cause I'm sick of her, but I really didn't think she was all that. One big emotional scene, who cares. The only other person I saw in her category was Jackie Weaver (who I loved in SLP) so not sure who else I should root for.
ReplyDelete@jenx
ReplyDeleteJames Spader was robbed! lincoln is going to clean up, and he gave the best performance in it.
___________________________________
Totally! James Spader was the best, and Lincoln will get the most wins.
I saw Silver Linings Playbook and think it's just a good rom/com. Nothing that warrants the director beating out Paul Thomas Anderson for The Master or Affleck for Argo. I thought De Niro and Jennifer Lawrence were the best in it and Coop didn't bother me per usual.
Affleck must really have pissed some people off in Hollywood. DiCaprio, too.
ReplyDeleteI think with Ben winning an Oscar for screenplay right out of the gate, it was hard to live up to that potential for a while with so any other endeavors (see: getting crazy ass).
DeleteI think he's back out of the Gigli zone, but perhaps his transparency at wanting it so bad make them withhold it.
I've only seen Argo and Lincoln and while I think Daniel Day Lewis is amazing, I honestly enjoyed Argo much, much more. I cannot believe Affleck was snubbed for this. I guess I need to watch the other films.
ReplyDeleteThe Master! Good luck JP>
ReplyDelete@Jazzy - you do realize that Leo has 3 previous Oscar nominations, do you? Supporting Actor for What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Actor for The Aviator and Blood Diamond.
