I think that Waltz's performance was more well received than Leo's. And Waltz's character is more prominent in the film than Leo's. But I am surprised that Ben Affleck wasn't nominated for Best Director.

Kirby Dick's landmark documentary THE INVISIBLE WAR got nominated and that really all that matters to me. It was recently rated the #1 film on Rotten Tomatoes and it's currently streaming on Netflix. A lot of people seem to be upset that Affleck and Reifenstahl got snubbed; don't know what to say, would have actually preferred the former got a nod, yet hooray for Benh Zietlan, Quvanzhane Wallis and BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD: Great film, great story, inspirational has hell, loved it all the way and it made me cry at the end! Also happy Phoenix and THE MASTER got some love. Rooting for Jones and Adams in the Supporting Actor categories; little upset Leo didn't make it, as it could have been a CATCH ME IF YOU CAN reunion with both winning. MOONRISE KINGDOM deserves Original Screenplay, and Roger Deakins is due for his Oscar for SKYFALL; also pulling for Newman's score and Adele's song. I adored THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS, but it's probably going to go to PARANORMAN or FRANKENWEENIE.

This is setup for Spielberg to win Best Director ('Lincoln' was good but highly overrated). Apparently, 'Argo' and 'Zero Dark Thirty' directed themselves. Sigh, no love for TDKR, Javier. Again, Academy sucks as per usual :)

you suck it, Javier Bardem was very good, but if DiCaprio misses on this list, as you can still talk

Argo was just as overrated.

The Master was a terrible film, but it did have great performances. I am surprised that Affleck was not nominated for best director for his third masterpiece.

How old are you? "Master" was the most mature film I saw this year (yes, including the cynical "Amour"). Ben Affleck is a nice guy, n'all, but he's made no masterpieces. Some solid entertainment maybe (although "The Town" was dreadfully overrated).

Man, very mixed bag this year. Perks of Being a Wallflower nominated for squat, should've at least gotten a Best Adapted Screenplay nod. The Dark Knight Rises was TERRIBLY snubbed in the technical categories. And I personally believe that PTA and Jonny Greenwood were snubbed as well for the Master. With all that being said, Lincoln was a masterpiece, and I'm glad it received the most noms

The directors nominations are trully the strangest I can remember seeing from the Academy. Bigelow and Affleck have pretty much been nominated for everything up to this point and Bigelow has won for a number of them; why did this group of voters, which are the director's branch of the academy, see things so differently? I heard there was a change in the voting system, but other catagories went pretty close to what they were expected to so I doubt that had much to do with it.

It's like the academy goes out of it's way not to nominate Ben Afflack... *Thought bubble pops up that he already has an oscar oooo yeah.....

No Leo for best supporting actor, no Affleck for directing, no Avengers for music, no Dark Knight Rises anywhere, Les Miserables for best movie?!?!?! Am I the only one or Academy Awards is really so conservative that blockbusters like Skyfall and Avengers are snubbed in order to push Life of Pi, Lincoln, Django and Beasts. I don't have anything about those movies, but Skyfall and Avengers have better reviews than those movies and from a lot more critics!!!

very very many people say that the Avengers had edli most overrated film of the year, the only flaw in this list is the absence of Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio instead Arkin

Aside from being the most overrated and possibly most disappointing film of the year (for me at least), The Avengers's score felt phoned in. Nothing special about it whatsoever

Jan 10 - 09:20 AM

Shin Charli

that's it's nothing special, from a rating of 90%? nothing special, the usual komiksovoy film, children's story

I wanted to see Looper in some category, not a big one, but at least on something, and again, WHERE IS AFFLECK?? hate the academy sometimes

Where is Moonrise Kingdom? This years best picture. Why Beasts?

Jan 10 - 09:26 AM

Why 9 movies instead of 10, if there were 10 that the kingdom would fall exactly in the list

That missing slot is what makes the omission of "Master" and "Moonrise" such an insult.

The way the Academy has set up the nominations is any film that gets at least 5% of the Best Picture votes. Apparently neither of those films did.

Gage I've seen you post in a lot of threads and have thought "Man I don't think I've ever agreed with this guy" but Meh on BEASTS is the most agreeable thing I've read all day. It's like the biggest MEH film of the year!

i think jamie foxx, leo dicaprio and samuel L. Jackson all deserved nominations .. they were all great in Django Unchained, easily one of the most well made films of 2012 ... and no nominations for TDKR and only one for Avengers? something is seriously wrong with the academy .. the only film that god enough recognition that i really loved was Django Unchained and even still was missing recognition for several other actors in that film ... at least Christopher Waltz got a nomination

Jan 10 - 09:26 AM

Shin Charli

That's right, this year is very strong male supporting actor and DiCaprio had to get on this list, at least, instead Arkin although it is good and has been a great Jackson and Goodman really hard vybirat.esli Waltz wins I'll jump to the ceiling joy, he was also incredible in this role

It makes me sad that Dark Knight Rises couldn't grab at least a few technical nominations, I loved the film. Also, No Affleck for director? I thought Argo was great and he definetly deserved it. Zero Dark Thirty hasn't come to my town yet .so can't comment on Bigelow

Remember when The Dark Knight was snubbed at the Oscars and everybody was pissed about it? So the academy decided to put 10 films in the best picture category? So why are there 9 films and one of them is Les Miserable? No love for Skyfall :(
