MovieMan89 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Worst category this year. No it's not. Russell, and Zeitlin did great jobs on their respective movies too. I haven't seen Amour yet but Haneke was already expected to knock out Hooper by a lot of analysts, so I'm guessing he's pretty good too. Just because they didn't want to shower more praise on Bigelow so soon after she dominated awards season (undeservedly I'll add) doesn't mean the whole category sucks. Affleck is the real loser here since he's never even been nommed, but I was one of those who thought his directing in Argo was only good, not exceptional. He probably still deserved it over Zeitlin, but it's not a criminal snub or anything. Just very surprising given all the momentum he had going in.

TLK Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 ^^^ I agree that Affleck is the real loser. Haneke deserves a nom for being one of the best directors in the world today. Hooper and Bigelow are Oscar winners. Hooper's movie is just not that good and Bigelow did a poor job of defending her controversial movie. You can make a good case for Tarantino but I don't think he has a shot at winning an Oscar unless he tries to do something more conventional. His last few movies have been tribute/rip-offs of B-movies and Academy has treated them as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddThatcher Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 my thoughts on today's Oscar nominations, including how the Best Director category has completely turned the Best Picture race upside down:http://toddmthatcher.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/oscar-nominations-reaction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
