Bout fucking time Gary Oldman was nominated!

[Hatebox]

Sigh. I knew Shame and Fassbender would get snubbed. Forget all the sexual controversy, it was just a really well made and well acted film that deserved more.

[fishstick]

I totlaly called Oldman Fass switch. I told you. Oldman gets Brit vote. be careful what you wish.Happy that Leo didn`t make it so nobody cna say he stole Fass`s sopt. Oldman did it.Fact. I called it. Fuck this life.

Bridesmaids screenplay!

Why? It was obviously the actors just riffing most of the time (and not in a good way).

[MovieGuyKyle16]

Best Animated Feature: REALLY? Kung Fu Panda and Puss In Boots?? Not even Tintin?

Don't ask me, I didn't nominate it.

[Hatebox]

Don't ask me, I didn't nominate it.

Wait, you're not a member of The Academy?!

[Noctis]

I cannot understand how Melissa McCarthy got nominated. I truly don't. It's such a shame Kristen Wiig wasn't given the attention she deserved.

[baumer]

The best picture category, actor, actress and supporting categories are a joke this year. Von Sydow for a mute in ELIC is one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen and so is the nomination for best picture. Hugo is good, but 11 noms, seriously? Come on.Hollywood is in love with itself, that's the only explanation as to why they are nominating movies about movies.

She got credited with writing the screenplay. Edited January 24, 2012 by lab276

[kyky]

no Kirsten Dunst? no nom for Melancholia? what a stupid list. nobody i like ever makes it. tired of clooney and pitt. how are these two good actors?

[DAR]

I have a question did someone random person in the audience whoop it up when they announced some random category like Best Short film? That seems to always happen. Oh and looking at that list the only films I saw were Moneyball, the Help, Harry Potter, Transformers and Apes.

[The Dark Alfred]

It’s official…AMPAS truly is an old man’s club. Negatives: No Fassbender or DiCaprio? Are kidding me? No Tintin for best animation, but KP2? No Trent Reznor for score? And Extremely Loud for BP, WTF? Positives: Gary Oldman, Malick, Margin Call for screenplay

[stripe]

http://oscar.go.com/nomineesFull list scroll down.Dragon Tattoo for cinematog, editing, NO SCORE?!?!?! sound mixing

Score is very overrated IMHO. Its an awful and noisy nonsense! Boring and pretentious

They didn't announce that, only the major non-technical ones.But someone whooped when Extremely Loud was nominated for Best Picture. Edited January 24, 2012 by lab276
