Oscar nominations here.
The Good:
I predicted 40/45 of the top 8 categories correctly!
John Hawkes of Winter's Bone gets a supporting actor nod!
Winter's Bone beats out The Town!
The Bad:
Waiting for Superman snubbed. I'm a little confused, wasn't this the most praised documentary of the year?
No supporting actress love for Barbara Hershey or Mila Kunis of Black Swan.
No sound nominations for Black Swan... grr.
The Ugly:
While I really really wanted John Hawkes to get his due, I could not be more upset that the heart of The Social Network, Andrew Garfield, was passed over.
But the absolute worst snub of the day goes to Christopher Nolan left without a Direction nomination. How do you nominate such an intricate, creative, and detailed film for Best Picture and Original Screenplay and leave off the nomination for the skill of actually putting it together? Inception was a masterpiece and I cannot imagine what the Academy was thinking when they decided to praise the creation but not the creator. If we have ten best picture nominees today because of a Dark Knight snub in 2008, I am not sure what will get this intelligent movie-maker his due.
