Biggest Oscar snubs this year.

[riczhang]

The winner of Foreign Film is voted upon by the larger selection committee, and you have to see all the films before you can vote. And I really thought that after Haneke that Tringtignant got in. I imagine he just missed the nom.

I think he and Hawkes were #6 and #7, respectively

No doubt. Him getting in would've been an indication that something big was brewing with Amour in the academy. He would've been a completely out of left field nom, no on expected him to. At least for Haneke people like Tapley were predicting him.

[Jack Nevada]

Even though i loved Denzel in Flight, great performance, Hawkes was better, and Triningant toi

[Michael Gary Scott]

I think afflrck is my biggest snub

[CoolioD1]

I would've loved to see Tringtignant get in but I'm betting it would've been at the expense of Joaquin so in that way I'm kinda glad that he didn't....

After seeing Argo I'll join the crowd: Ben Affleck was snubbed. That right there is an excellently directed movie

You haven't put it on your sig. So what would you give it?Its 4/5 for me.

I give it 4/5 too. Its a good, professionally made film, but to me it wasnt the orgasmic masterpiece some people think it is.

It's strange. There are a ton of snubs but I am not all that worried about them. The biggest one in my mind was Bigelow, but I don't know, having 2 auteurs in there instead doesn't seem so bad. Sure Beasts wasn't my cup of tea but it's not like they nominated Stephen Daldry. Same thing with Cottliard and Hawkes. I think in any other year Hawkes and Cottliard would be locks but competition and #1 votes were too strong. And it's not like they are losing out to Sandra Bullock or something. Phoenix and Riva/Wallis are deserving since the only reason they got in were from strong support. Same with Perks screenplay. As soon as Beasts got in for director that was DOA. Kind if surprised that Intouchables did't make it but what would be the point? The support for Amour would have overwhelmed it. More surprised TDKR didn't get anything but I guess Academy wanted to give other films a turn. Cloud Atlas was DOA as soon as it missed best makeup shortlist. Feel kind of like Leo got screwed but I guess people just liked Waltz better.

Intouchables missed because it was too populist for the Foreign Executive Committee.

Ah okay. No actually looks quite good too. Interesting production values.

I haven't seen No. War Witch, Royal Affiar, and Kon Tiki both have very good production values. Edited January 14, 2013 by riczhang

A Royal Affair will win best foreign film. I can feel it in my sphincter.

The only one the could've beat Amour was Intouchables. And it for snubbed. No way in hell is Amour losing. The only potential spoiler which still really has no chance would be maybe No.I'd say Kon Tiki but the fact remains that it isn't a very good movie. War Witch feels like the 3 Executive Committee added short list selections so that's not winning.

Alice Vikander (A Royal Affair) is a cutiepie.

[riczhang]

She really is wonderful.

[JackO]

She was also in Anna Karenina.

She was good in that too. Didn't make my line-up but I did consider putting her in.
