2012 Academy Awards thread

Of all the movies with a nomination in any of the above categories, I have seen one: Bridesmaids.

So I'm going to recuse myself from any further discussion of the awards. I'll be back for the ceremony to talk about fashion though.

 

I would have loved to have seen Elle Fanning nominated for "Super 8," but no way she was cracking that field.

 

How did Albert Brooks not get nominated for Drive?

 

As it should have been.

 

Yeah, but it's just shocking to see a Pixar movie not nominated in the Animated film category.

 

Or Gosling, for that matter.

Of the best picture nominees, I've only seen Moneyball and, other than The Descendants, I'm not terribly interested in seeing any of them. I'll probably check some of them out as come out at Red Box, but on the whole, I'm underwhelmed with this year's crop of movies (not just the Oscar nominees, just movies I've seen this year, in general).

 

Agreed, but Cars 2 is probably the worst Pixar movie they've made.

 

Moneyball is the only best picture nominee I've seen. I'm sure I'll see The Help and Descendants and maybe Tree of Life, before the Oscars air, but 1 for 9 for me is pretty bad.

I used to try to see all of the major nominees, but that's just not realistic anymore...

 

Too bad Young Adult turned out to be a bomb; that surely cost Theron an Oscar nod.

 

Oops I forgot Ides got the adapted screenplay nom. Saw that too.

 

I can't wait to watch Vivid video's mashup, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoos Albert's Knobb.

 

Agreed.
