Well here’s the list of nominees for the 2012 Academy
Awards. Unquestionably the biggest and most well known (if not the
best...massive debate ensues) movie awards on the planet’ the Oscars always
have something to talk about, one way r the other. There are few surprises,
although some seem to be shocked at the inclusion of Demian Bichir, for A
Better Life, even though his Sag nom should have confirmed that.
Hugo featurette: Martin Scorsese talks about his first 3D film...
For those interested in the numbers game Hugo has 11 & The Artist 10 (Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 5 & The Help 4.) Gary Oldman finally has a sniff of his long overdue est actor Oscar and Dragon Tattoo proves too 'icky'? for the Academy as it fails to fill the 10th spot free spot for Best Picture, despite being a fair sight better at least half the 9 films that did make it. (See video on all 9 nominees below.)
How in God’s name Puss in Boots (Which I liked) and Kung Fu
Panda 2 (which I also liked) are in there and Tintin isn’t I will NEVER
know. Given the large number of
nominations and wins (so far) it has garnered as an animated film from
EVERYWHERE else, I just do not get this at all. (Also The Skin I Live In??? Where is it?!)
Ah the Oscars, always room for an argument!
