Initial thoughts: Why 9 best picture nominees? I forget how that works. Nice to see TOL up for best pic and director, but doubt it will win even though I would love to see it do so. The best actress category looks pretty solid (for the Oscars). Would love to see Glenn Close win (she deserves it), but more likely it'll go to either Streep or Williams. Lasseter must be pissed Cars 2 missed out considering Rio, Panda and Boots all got a nod lol. I still have a few of the big ones to watch, but I expect the Artist to continue it's dominance as this award season's big winner.
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

I'm happy for Jonah Hill and Melissa McCarthy. Woulda been cool to see Patton get a nom, but I don't think he deserved it, honestly.

Fernando

im more surprised that tintin was snubbed from the animated category than cars 2.

and I bet 10,000 to 1, that TOL in the best pic goes home empty as well as terry, el chivo might have a chance..

diggler

Wow, no Drive at all.

I'm surprised at the lack of Tintin as well, that was a terrific animated film, at least it got a score nod.

I believe it's any film with over 5% of the votes, up to 10 films.

Wait, I take it back, it got a nod for Sound Editing

all is forgiven.

Can't believe Albert Brooks didn't get nominated. That's crazy. And it's cool to see Tree of Life get the big ones.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

I'm predictably disappointed that Tintin isn't nominated for Animated Feature while Kung Fu Panda 2 and Puss in Boots somehow both made the cut, but the real surprise to me is no Corey Stoller Best Supporting Actor nomination for Midnight in Paris.  In a better world, the category would be a two-way race between him and Albert Brooks.  The only thing I have left to root for is for Nolte to win so we get to see him grumble and slur his way through an acceptance speech.

Also, Jonah fucking Hill?  Fuck that noise.

No Melancholia. Not even for visual effects.
