The 2013 nominees for Oscar are in this morning, and....WHAAAAT????
1. No Best Director for Ben Affleck - HUGE SNUB! no Best Director for Tom Hooper - HUGE SNUB!
I know David O. Russell did a great job in Silver Linings Playbook, but NOT better than Ben Affleck for Argo or Hooper for Les Miserables. This was a really strong field this year, so I guess someone got snubbed. But, I haven't seen Beasts of the Southern Wild, but I'm skeptical.
2. What is Amour? And why is it nominated for both Best Foreign Language AND Best Picture? I guess they're not mutually exclusive. I gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming. But then again, who did?
3. Bradley Cooper for Best Actor....SERIOUSLY? I saw Silver Linings Playbook (seperate blog review of that later) a few days ago, and I did NOT think Bradley Cooper was Oscar worthy.
4. Joaquin Phoenix - the comeback kid? This is an exciting nomination because I've always admired Phoenix, until his bizarre meltdown a few years ago. I hope he can hold it together this time around.
5. Best Supporting Actor category - A very inspired, stellar collection of performances this year for this - I love Robert Deniro and he was excellent in Silver Linings Playbook. I also want to see The Master now so I can see Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in their roles.
