Life of Pi was stupid, Lincoln was boring, and Django is not even a good B movie.The last good Tarantino movie I saw was Pulp Fiction. Flight is easily better than these three

Lincoln was excellent. Django was excellent. Inglorious Basterds was another excellent QT film. And Flight was nowhere good enough to have a chance of best picture. You sir, have terrible taste.

I wouldn't call it bullshit. End of Watch was very underrated, and it was a solid film, but the field was just too strong this year for it to have a shot.

You know what's messed up? Mirror Mirror has more nominations than Hunger Games, Spider-Man, and TDKR COMBINED!!! And The Avengers has ONE TOTAL NOM! REALLY, AMPAS?

Now, before anybody complains about TDKR not being as good as the last Batman movie, let me say that at least it's still better than Batman Begins, which at least got a nom in 2006 for Best Cinematograghy. (Conversely, Katie Holmes got a Razzie nod for her role in BB.) So why TDKR got COMPLETELY snubbed is something I will ponder forever, like how Crash won Best Picture in 2006.

Not a nom for TDKR.Weird.I expected a sound mixing/editing nom at least.Sad about Affleck,WA and PTA not getin' recognition.

Lincoln's gonna take this out, easy.3rd for Spielberg,3rd for DDL and God knows how many for John Williams (maybe 6).

Wow, The Dark Knight Rises was jipped! No costume design nomination? No visual effects nomination? No editing nomination? I'm actually fed up with the Academy Awards, particularly since I found out that the actor and studios pay to have their performances and films in the Oscar race. That ain't even right.

No Dark Knight Rises No Hans Zimmer for Best Music Original Score. No Christopher Nolan for Best Director this blows TheAcademy Awards suck.

Uh, Zimmer has won before, and his score for DKR wasn't that much difference than the other 2 films. Watch more movies.

TDKR score was way dif than TDK or Batman Begins. I will laugh my ass off when this years Oscars draws record breaking numbers for screwing TDKR over.

Just one nomination for Moonrise Kingdom is a shame. The voting members of Academy are old farts for sure. Katherine Bigelow,PT Anderson Tarantino and Ben Affleck were royally snubbed. I would have liked to see Josh Brolin (MI3) and Leo Dicaprio or Javier Bardem in the Best Supporting category and Best Actor nod for Jack Black (Bernie). But it sure is heartening to see Life of Pi get 11 noms. It is 'The Film of the Year' for me.

Brolin???Ha, that was great.But I agree with you for the rest.I wish they had considered some others as well.

Michael Fassbender,Prometheus
Mark Ruffalo,The Avengers
Michael Caine,TDKR

Now THAT would've been great,but it is the Oscar's so..... 'groans'

David was an excellent character, until everybody woke up. Than he suddenly started acting irrational, stupid, and an overall bore like the rest of the cast.

I think Lawless should have been nominated for cinematography

Guys, chill out. It's just a ploy for publicity. Leonardo was spectacular, as was Taratino's direction. Alan Arkin turned in a solid performance too. This whole competition thing is silly and political. It's comparable to saying which is a better piece of art. It's all subjective. I saw Le Mis and enjoyed it, but Lincoln, Django, The Master and Silver Linings Playbook knocked me out. Why wasn't The Master nominated? Who knows...who cares. F#$%@ it. Happy New Year!

Les Mis was shit, or maybe not shit but there were many other movies that were better, i.e. Moonrise, The Master, skyfall, and Looper. I'm also fairly bummed that Moonrise wasn't up for cinematography, Wes lives for that shit.

100% agree!!! Les Mis was unbearable!!! Even Roger Ebert didn't like it!!!

Disappointed that John Hawkes didn't get a best actor nom for The Sessions :(

The Dark Knight Rises should have at least been nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Music (Original Score) as well as other technical categories. It's a damn shame that The Dark Knight was snubbed of having a Best Director nom 4 years ago.

Both TDK and TDKR should have got a best picture nom. The oscars suck

I hope Quvenzhané Wallis wins her performance as the youngest actress in a leading role!

She won't. I am pretty sure her being NOMINATED in the first place is an award in of itself.

Sorry to hear MRS. KENT DOES DALLAS wasn't nominated.
