 Here are this year's Oscar nominees - the leaders are Lincoln with twelve nominations, Life of Pi with eleven, Silver Linings Playbook with eight, and Argo and Les Miserables with seven each. Best Actress nominees Emmanuelle Riva, age 85 ('Amour'), and Quvenzhane Wallis, age 9 ('Beasts of the Southern Wild'), are the oldest and youngest lead actress nominees ever.

John Hawkes didn't get nominated? What the Christ? How does that happen? He was like one of the most solid bets for Best Actor. And Marion Cottilard for Best Actress as well.

It begins! Overall, I like most of the nominations this year. I haven't caught up with Lincoln or Amour yet, but I felt there were a lot of really strong films this year. But, as I posted in the general discussion thread, shutting out Bigelow, Affleck, and Quintin in the Directing category is loving dumb and will probably be the biggest debate of the year in regards to the awards. Overall, hoping for Argo or Silver Linings. I don't know if they'll beat out the juggernaut that is Zero Dark Thirty, but they were my personal favorites, and it's good to see people like Bradley Cooper getting well-deserved nods for performances that don't stick to type. Can't wait for Seth McFarlane and the Bond tribute.

I say it again, Affleck and Tarantino not in the Directing category is criminal. Is Cloud Atlas not eligible for 2012? I thought it would at least get nominated for costumes, and people has said that the editing in it is phenomenal.

Aren't the chances of Zero Dark Thirty winning Best Picture dead now? Has a movie ever won without a Best Director nomination?

live with fruit posted:Aren't the chances of Zero Dark Thirty winning Best Picture dead now? Has a movie ever won without a Best Director nomination? It's uncommon, but it's happened. This year is especially weird with that Directing category. ZDT has been owning up the other awards circuits so far this year. Lincoln and Silver Linings have the possibility of beating it and were nominated in both categories, but counting out Zero Dark would be silly with the push its been getting. I really don't see Amour or Beasts winning it all. Life of Pi is doubtful for Best Picture, though it was certainly worthy of the nods it got. All the rest are certainly contenders at this point, with Argo and SLP being the biggest ones to unseat Zero in my opinion. Then again, I didn't expect Lincoln to get all the love it has, so it's really all up in the air. We'll have a better idea about two weeks from now, I'm sure. Last year, The Artist was kind of a dark horse until the nominations were announced and it just steamrolled over everything afterwards.

The MSJ posted:I say it again, Affleck and Tarantino not in the Directing category is criminal. On the plus side, Zeitlin and Haneke are nominated for some pretty amazing work, and with Spielberg/Lee/O. Russell all nominated for films that a significant contingent of people have loved, I'd say it's a pretty strong year for the award. Hopefully this gets everyone watching Amour. It was in my top 5 of the year (three of the other four - The Deep Blue Sea, Shut Up and Play the Hits and Neighbouring Sounds - didn't get nominated, and the other - A Separation - won last year) and I simply cannot pimp it enough. It's a devastating, profoundly moving piece of work and Haneke's newfound humanism is shot right through it.

Axel Serenity posted:Also Crash (lol) and Chicago. He said no Best Director nomination, not a split award. Haggis and Marshall were both nominated for Best Picture. Still, end of the day, with up to 10 Best Picture noms and only 5 Best Director, I wouldn't think it is a kiss of death as it may have been in years past.

I would just preemptively like to say that people complaining about Seth MacFarlane hosting the awards this year should take into account that last years host wore loving BLACKFACE, so, it could be a lot worse.

DangerKat posted:Driving Miss Daisy And the other two were Wings and Grand Hotel, both of which came out 80-some years ago. When Driving Miss Daisy won Best Picture, Oliver Stone won Best Director for Born on the Fourth of July. This seems like it works against Zero Dark Thirty, as the Academy tends to prefer rewarding the challenging stuff with Best Director (Traffic is another example) and the more populist stuff with Best Picture (Gladiator). Unless the Academy is head-over-heels in love with The Silver Linings Playbook, it looks like Lincoln is the very safe bet.

I've watched some of his hosting and he's okay. He's like a toned down, less funny version of Ricky Gervais.

DangerKat posted:He said no Best Director nomination, not a split award. Haggis and Marshall were both nominated for Best Picture. Ah, I misread. The two go hand in hand so much, though, that nominations or not seems to have little difference. It seems like there was just a huge split this year among the divisions of voters. I mean, you look at the DGA Awards listing and it's pretty much what we expected this year: Affleck, Ang Lee, Bigelow, Tom Hooper, and Spielberg. And since most big DGA members are also Academy winners, you really have to wonder where in the world the disparity happened or if the Academy was just so split on votes for the bigger names that they couldn't come to a census, letting others come through. It'll be interesting to see if Lincoln picks up steam after this, as I really haven't heard a lot of buzz about either it or Les Mis being serious contenders. Everyone expected them to be nominated of course, but as actual winner material they hadn't really been discussed. This'll be an interesting season to watch, and I get the feeling it'll change a lot now that the finals are set. live with fruit posted:Unless the Academy is head-over-heels in love with The Silver Linings Playbook, it looks like Lincoln is the very safe bet. Silver Linings has nods in most of the major categories. It's not a period piece so it wouldn't have anything going for it in stuff like Makeup or Costuming, but it's very much a huge contender with noms in BP, Directing, all acting categories, and Adapted Screenplay. I was actually legit surprised at Jacki Weaver getting a Supporting nod, but good for her. It's apparent the Academy definitely loves the film.

And Best Actress is the only category in which Silver Linings Playbook isn't going up against Lincoln. If you assume that it's down to those two, it doesn't seem like there'll be much surprise left by the time they get to Best Picture.

live with fruit posted:And Best Actress is the only category in which Silver Linings Playbook isn't going up against Lincoln. A film having the most nominations doesn't necessarily mean it will win Best Picture, though. Last year, Hugo had more than The Artist. Avatar had just as many as Hurt Locker. And Benjamin Button was slammed by Slumdog. Hell, Dreamgirls had eight categories compared to The Departed having four. And those are just the past few awards shows. Nomination counts are heavily skewed towards period and effects-laden movies, and aren't really any indication of the overall results. If anything, just with my ten minutes of research, it seems like the films with the most noms tend not to win Best Picture. No doubt Lincoln will pick up awards. But, it also has the downside of being extremely boring to people who have no interest in the history of the real man. Most of the other ones have a fairly broad audience, which certainly helps. And, while Best Picture winners almost always cause controversy of some kind, they usually aren't boring films, per se (cue LotR joke). I certainly won't complain with Spielberg getting love. He's the reason I fell in love with films and moved out here in the first place. But, Lincoln is by no means a clear-cut winner yet, especially just because it got a lot of categories. Zero Dark has been clearing house on most of the awards circuit, and a lot will ride on how the DGA and PGA vote to see if that momentum shifts.

The snubbing of Moonrise Kingdom (my favourite film of the year) and The Master (probably the most ambitious and interesting film of the year) in the Best Picture and Director categories is terrible, but what can you expect? It's the Oscars...

I am annoyed that Tarantino, Anderson, Affleck and DiCaprio got snubbed, but happy that Joaquin Phoenix and Christoph Waltz got nominated. Daniel Day-Lewis was amazing as Lincoln, but I really think that Phoenix should win Best Actor. I haven't seen Flight, so I can't comment on Washington.

I don't see Silver Linings Playbook picking up that much beyond maybe an acting award; there's "not much to it," and there's no narrative that attracts Oscar voters beyond it being the film Weinstein picked for this year's "bribe-o-rama."

I feel safe in assuming that the Academy in general is very interested in the real Abraham Lincoln. I'm curious to see if there's going to be an Obama effect, since the liberal Hollywood elite loves him and he loves Lincoln. Especially with him using the Lincoln bible at the inauguration. It's going to get a lot of free publicity is what I'm saying. live with fruit fucked around with this message at Jan 10, 2013 around 15:32 |

Overall the nominations certainly seem a lot better this year than the last time. There are a few surprises/disappointments, especially no Best Actor nomination for Leo and no Best Editing for Cloud Atlas. That movie was completely mediocre but the editing was goddamn incredible.

Wow, they only nominated 9 films for Best Picture, meaning they were fully capable of nominating The Master for that tenth spot, and simply chose not to. Astonishing. Nevermind it not picking up a nomination for best original score (a paltry field this year) or cinematography. As has been said, Affleck not getting a nod is really disappointing, and in general this reeks of the typical poo poo that we know the Oscars are good for. When was the last time Spielberg didn't get nominated? War of the Worlds? I'm not suggesting he wasn't deserving, but it's always frustrating to see how cynicism on the part of major studios always pays off (literally anyone cast as Mary Todd Lincoln was going to get nominated). Every year I have to re-realize that the Oscars are a stupid sham, I don't know why I take it seriously anymore. It's just kind of insane to have a ceremony where we celebrate Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, and a couple other movies.
