Leo was snubbed big time.

 

[Project862006]

just realized no directing,cinematography,screenplay,or best picture for The Master

 

[danoyse]

hugh finally got his oscar nomination

Surprised at the Bigelow and Affleck snubs, especially Affleck.

Good. That movie is so myopic and pretentious it made me root for Scientology.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Are we doing picks in this thread or is there another one for that?

 

[Harry_Lime02]

So did all the award shows just agree to pretend that Alan Arkin's role in Argo was in any way notable?

 

[kvz5]

It's her 4th, and her 3rd filler nomination.

Leave my ginger queen alone! My French queen was snubbed. Let me have this!

SLP got acting nods in all 4 categories. Apparently, that hasn't happened in a decade.

 

[cherokeesam]

Surprised at the Bigelow and Affleck snubs, especially Affleck.

What snub...? Affleck is up for Best Director for Argo. Kathryn got snubbed on that one.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Happy for all the Silver Linings noms because I loved it

Nice to see Hooper left off the list

Affleck is a cool dude, it would have been nice to see him get a best director nom

Shocked at ZD30 lack of director nom

Who do you trust more? Comic Book Movie or Oscars.com?

 

[Earthland]

So did all the award shows just agree to pretend that Alan Arkin's role in Argo was in any way notable?

I think the supporting actor/actress category is quite often filled with obscure roles. Like the old lady in the Titanic film - did she even get to say more than ten sentences?

Eddie Redmayne should've been nominated instead.

 

[Project862006]

i have my sources that say cbm is a very professional and reliable site that never lies to it's viewers

who are these Oscars you speak of what are their credentials?

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Looking at the nominations, Lincoln should clean house. When's the last time Actor, Director and Picture all went to the same film? The most recent one I remember off the top of my head was Forest Gump. Lincoln certainly would deserve it if it happens this year.

The King's Speech won Picture, Director, and Actor in 2011. The Artist also pulled this off in 2012.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

The King's Speech won Picture, Director, and Actor. The Artist also pulled this off last year.

Whoops. Thanks for that.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I know the internet hates SLP but I'd be happy if it won best picture . I hope Jen doesn't win best actress because I want her to have a long career.

I hope TDKR fans aren't jumping off of buildings...

 

[Drizzle]

I was 7 for 10 (9 really) with my Oscar predictions:

1. Les Miserables
2. Argo
3. Lincoln
4. Silver Linings Playbook
5. Life of Pi
6. Zero Dark Thirty
7. Django Unchained
8. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
9. The Master
10. Moonrise Kingdom

Surprises for me:

No nominations for Leo for Django or Affleck for Directing (My only real disappointments)

No nominations for TDKR (I was expecting at least some technical noms)

Ted's nomination for Best Original Song (Didn't see that one coming, but I think Skyfall's got that one in the bag, and deservedly so)

The Hobbit should have got some more love.

I also think it's pointless that they nominated Amour for Best Picture since it's got Best Foreign Language Film in the bag anyway. They could have easily nominated something like Skyfall instead.

Anyway, here are my predictions:

Best Picture:
Either Zero Dark Thirty or Lincoln. If it has to be one of those two, I hope ZDT wins it. Les Mis and Argo are the dark horses.

Best Actor:
I'd like to see Hugh Jackman win, but ultimately I think it's Daniel Day-Lewis's to lose.

Best Actress:
It's going to be neck and neck between Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence. I think Chastain might win. Naomi Watts is the dark horse here.

Best Supporting Actor:
How boring. Every single actor nominated in this category has won before. Since Leo is out of the running, I think it makes it that much easier for Tommy Lee Jones to sneak in and win.

Best Supporting Actress:
Hathaway, of course.

Best Director:
I could see them giving it to Spielberg here.

Best Original Screenplay:
Probably Zero Dark Thirty.

Best Adapted Screenplay:
Probably Lincoln.

Best Animated Film:
I'd like to see Wreck-It Ralph win, but I could also see them giving it to Brave.

It's gonna be an interesting race.

And with "Suddenly" from Les Mis being nominated, we hopefully get a performance from Hugh at the show. Unless they go last year's route and replace the Best Song performances with a Cirque de Soliel routine. Because that made sense.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah, I want to see those come back because I want to see Adele perform "Skyfall" (and win for it afterwards )

 

[Bim]

Oh god, i forgot about that

Come on, don't you want to see Flying French Prostitutes this year?

 

[Kane52630]

Come on, don't you want to see Flying French Prostitutes this year?

Sounds like a dream I once had.

 

[Drizzle]

I was actually pissed that they didn't perform "Man or Muppet" last year. At least it won.
