Oscars Discussion - Nominations in First Post - Red Carpet Time!

[Noctis]

I'm still stunned at how Desplat failed to get a nomination - this was the year with his best scores.

[Travod]

Wow Rio got a Best Song nom, that's great. It's a catchy song.

Drive got one nomination

[baumer]

What an absolute joke.This years oscars are going to have the worst ratings probably in a decade. ELIC? Are you fucking fucking fucking kidding me? That movie is such a piece of crap.I've watched the oscars every years since 82 I think, this will be the first year I don't.

[lab276]

Hugo got 11 nominations, probably the most.

[baumer]

Was Tin Tin snubbed in animation?

[ladyevenstar22]

9 movies really? what was the point of all that hoo-ha about changing things up so there might be a shorter list

[Noctis]

I'm sick of the John Williams love. Fuck that.

I wasn't expecting even one nomination for Drive. Edited January 24, 2012 by JohnnY

I'm glad Drive only got one nomination. It didn't even deserve one.

I was expecting even one nomination for Drive.

Some great noms, some terrible noms, and some total WTF noms.All in all, a typical Oscar nominee list

Yep nothing too great or exciting.

[JohnnY]

I'm happy for those indie animations, I hope they're good. We didn't have strong animations in 2011, although I still haven't seen Tin Tin.

[rockNrollaDIM]

There's some bright spots but for the most part the nominations are full of suck. It's all PC sentimiental bullshit this year.
