Moonrise Kingdom needs to be up for Best Picture, IMO.

Rise of the Gaurdians got jobbed. Id put it ahead of Brave and Pirates Band of Misfits.

I see alot of childrens films having young kids. : )

Les Mis best picture? Bradley Cooper best actor.

Oscar has jumped the shark.

Django, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty were good enough for best picture but not director?

i'm sure it is fine...but it's a fairly generic story about attractive white people

risk factor 0

just not what i personally want to see rewarded with the most prestigious honor in the industry...

The Master needs to be up for best picture. Very under appreciated movie.

I agree with Hathaway getting nominated, and I'd be shocked if she didn't win (same with Day-Lewis). Jackman.... maybe. Personally I would have rather seen Redmayne get a supporting nod.

Personally I thought Crowe's uber-suck dragged the entire thing down too far to rate a nomination, and I'd be shocked if it won. Of course, Godfather Part III was nominated despite Soffia Coppola's odious performance. Didn't win, though.

Dicaprio still getting jobbed I see.

he was better than waltz, imo...

The direction is one of the strongest aspects of Argo. The pace and tension are outstanding. But I wasn't impressed by Afleck's performance. It was fine; serviceable. But nothing extremely award worthy about it, in my opinion.

So glad Beasts of the Southern Wild is getting the love it deserves.

I totally see nominating Les Mis. It's a solid movie that breaks into transcendence at times. Hathaway, Seyfried, Barks, Redmayne, Jackman (though vocally strident) are all outstanding. Hooper's direction is beautiful as well.
