So what do you think?

Who do you think should win?

Who do you think was snubbed [if anyone]?

Subject: Re: 84th Annual Academy Award Nomination List! Tue 24 Jan 2012, 8:11 pm

Leonardo DiCaprio is snubbed from everything.

I think the bigger snub for actors was Michael Fassbender for Shame.

I had a feeling Gary Oldman would bump Leo off but Fassbender also being bumped off for Demián Bichir was a shock and a sad one.

I was surprised they didnt add Michael. I noticed they kept Bejo as supporting.

Unlike last year, the nine Best Picture nominees were not the most popular across the various branches of the academy.

Four of them -- "Hugo" (11), "The Artist" (10), "War Horse" (6) and "Moneyball" (6) -- lead the pack but then "The Descendants" is tied at five with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which did not make it into the top race.

"The Help" and "Midnight in Paris" contend for four apiece.

Coming in with three bids was "The Tree of Life." That ties it with "Albert Nobbs," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

And "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" was matched for two nominations by "A Separation," "Bridesmaids," "The Iron Lady" and "My Week with Marilyn."

Last year, from "The King's Speech" with an even dozen bids down to "The Kids Are All Right" and "Winter's Bone" with four apiece, the Best Picture nominees amassed 69 nominations in total.

Eight of last year's 10 Best Picture nominees counted at least one acting bid among their totals. "The King's Speech" and "The Fighter" had three apiece while "Inception" was snubbed and the animated feature "Toy Story 3" was ineligible. This year, four of the contenders -- "Hugo," "Midnight in Paris," "The Tree of Life" and "War Horse" -- were snubbed by the acting branch.

Nine of last year's Best Picture contenders reaped screenplay bids; the exception was "Black Swan" which was edged out by "Another Year" for the fifth Original Screenplay slot. This year only five of the nine nominees are in the running. The snubbed screenplays are "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," "The Help," "The Tree of Life" and "War Horse."

If Harry Potter doesn't win best visual effects after that amazing force field scene, it proves there is nothing right about these nominations/wins.

I would've liked to see an Emma Watson nomination, feel she overshadows a lot of the 'top dog' actors/actresses with her abilities.

^ Yeah it should win however I could easily see it losing to Hugo because that film has like 11 nominations so it may get a lot of the technical awards..
