Cloud Atlas ... atrocious. There are at least 4 categories where Cloud Atlas would have chances of winning (sfx, make-up, cinematography, costume) an a few where it could have got a nomination (design, adapted screenplay ...) but none at all - that's simply un-con-ceivable.@Intouchables: Was it even eligible for 2012? It's a 2011 film and France pushed "The Artist" for 2011 (very successfully too).

It was France's submission for the Foreign Language film, so yeah, it was eligible.

After reading through this, some people are confusing snubs with simply not getting what they wanted.For example: Actors from Life of Pi not getting nominated, films like Ruby Sparks, Cabin in the Woods, etc not getting a screenplay nod, etc. Those are not snubs because a snub implies they had a decent to good chance of making it in to begin with (and the chances for all of those were close to zero).A snub is Affleck/Bigelow not getting nominated, Cotillard not getting nominated after hitting just about every major precursor, DiCaprio after making NBR/GG, Perks and Looper not getting Screenplay nods after getting solid precursor traction, etc.
