Reminds me that I still have to see Django Unchained. I'm disappointed there's no The Dark Knight Rises nominations

[Nagflar]

Saw the list earlier today. Couldn't help but laugh, laugh, laugh and laugh repeatedly at Samuel L. "Stereotype" Jackson not getting nominated. He'll be even more butthurt now .

I know right, it was a great movie.

Yup I thought it was the best film of last year.... well also liked the Avengers, but I knew that wouldn't get any major noms(visual effects isn't a big category imo)..... kinda shitty that it has to take someone to die in a batman movie to get an award or even a nomination, I personally thought Rises was better than the 2nd... I loved Dark Knight tho, but Rises was even better....

I see Daniel Day winning Best Actor, and maybe Lincoln winning Best Picture... kinda disspointed in the nominations, but its the Academy Awards they always pick the worse movies to be nominated.... if the Coen brothers had a 30 second film about pooping it would've been nominated by those snobby bitches at the Oscars

I don't think Django and Hobbit shouldn't count as they weren't released worldwide in 2012...

Dark Knight Rises is a joke to The Dark Knight.

You're forgetting they gave The Hurt Locker the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars, so these nominations shouldn't really be a surprise. The Oscars are still a logn way from beign as shitty as the Grammys, but they're surely trying .

About time Michael Haneke got some recognition. In my opinion the best director working today.

What categories do you think The Dark Knight Rises should have been nominated for?

That's no surprise really considering that the Academy are pretty much made up of the film historian/buff types whose all time favorite movie is Citizen Kane so they only nominate the art films (not that I hate art films or Citizen Kane but that's pretty much their type of film) while most of the well received blockbuster films like TDKR, The Avengers didn't receive any nominations and even if they did it would be in the smaller categories like Sound Editing, Costume Design etc and at best it would have received nominations in the acting categories but never in the Best Picture category as there has never been a Comic Book film ever been in that category to my knowledge.

Haven't gotten around to seeing any of these films so I don't have any favorite I predict that:

Either Lincoln or Life Of Pi for Best Picture
Amour for Best Foreign Picture
Daniel Day Lewis for Best Actor
Jennifer Lawrence for Best Actress
Phillip Seymour Hoffman for Best Supporting Actor
Sally Field for Best Supporting Actress
Ang Lee win Best Director

Those would be my guesses as to who would win.

I wholeheartedly agree that they shouldn't do that, since there are some blockbuster titles every year that are actually good. However, to give props to movies like Thor or The Avengers (just giving examples) just because they are huge blockbuster titles would be worse. They're enjoyable films. The kind of movies you go watch to spend the evening with your family/friends or score with a chick. They rarely enjoy great acting performances, great shots or good cinematography.

Best supporting actor (Tom Hardy) and best original score come to mind.

The music was quite good but Tom Hardy didn't do it for me. He's a good actor and probably has an Oscar in him someday though.

[UNCLEPAULIE]

Anyone seen Lincoln yet , I quite fancy it , Day-Lewis is by far the best actor of his generation . Hope he wins again lol

[LovesAnInjection]

I cant wait to see Django this thuesday. I've been a Tarantino fan since a little kid. I could of always downloaded it, but I want the theater experience!! Wish these things would hit the cinemas at the same time so some of us wouldnt have to wait 3 weeks :S

Django Unchained doesn't release until 24th of this month in cinemas for latestralia.

and Lincoln doesn't release till the 7th of Feb.

I'll download Lincoln, but i want to watch Django at the cinemas.

[abhinandhan22]

Django Unchained is not out here yet so is lincoln and some of the other Nominees. Having seen only Argo and Life of Pi i think Life of Pi should win

but it was terribly written and filled with plotholes.



Django unchained should win best picture, if not Argo and lincon is ok too
