My two biggest disappointments are no score nomination for 12 Years a Slave and no Film Editing nomination for The Wolf of Wall Street, otherwise I am quite thrilled with the nominations. American Hustle might have tied for the most nominations, scored big across the acting board, but I think the Wolf showing a late surge in power is the biggest winner this morning.

Did Gatsby not even campaign for their fucking songs?

What the fuck.

Perhaps it was vote splitting, especially between the Lana song and the Florence song. The Jay Z and xx songs were also in contention.

In the end, zero nominations for Rush. Cheers, Arthur.

Congrats Libs on the cool evolution of this thread.

Or perhaps the songs were simply shitty.

Nope.

I would say the way things went this morning is a sure sign that Leo is going to sneak in for the win last second, but the lack of an editing nomination to Dallas Buyers Club's favor is making me take a step back in this proclamation.

I don't mind these nominations, except this was a huge comeback year for Hanks and he really should have gotten a nomination for his performance.

So happy for Sally Hawkins and Amy Adams. They make up for the lack of Llewyn Davis.

lol

You bastard.

And it is spelled "overrated."

I presume when BP is announced, it will still be 12 Years a Slave. I don't see a scenario where it's not.

Though I thought the same about Lincoln, The Social Network, Avatar, Brokeback Mountain...

WAIT A FUCKING SECOND

THE UMBRELLA ANIMATED SHORT DIDN'T GET NOMINATED?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

The Croods is a lot better than MU.

I'm most happy about Leo's nom. I really hope he wins this time. And Jennifer Lawrence, of course.

It was basically a weaker remake of the Paperman from last year. Glad it didn't get nominated so this category can be taken more seriously instead of it just rewarding shorts by default of lack of material to chose from.

Can't remember how the votes go, but it seems there will be a lot of different Oscar member supporters behind: 12 YAS, AH, Wolf, but Gravity could be the consistent #2. I still think there's a slight chance it could get best picture if 12 YAS/AH are too split. The Academy is becoming much more diverse over some of the guilds and so could see Gravity resonate consistently in #2.

One of the shorts nominated last year was a guy slicing an avocado.

One of the few years where I'd be fine with 4-5 films winning.

Gravity, 12YAS, AH, Wolf, Her

Should be also noted that despite it being her 5th nomination, this is Amy's first Leading nod.

Is somebody gonna make a "Predict the Winners" contest?

Hobbit doesn't get nominated for Best Makeup but Lone Ranger does? Was Tonto's dead bird hat better than Radagast's?

Wasn't that last year?

Exactly, this year is an improvement...hopefully...

I mean, I hope Get A Horse! wins. But the best animation I've seen this year was The Blue Umbrella.

Yeah, I could see 12 YAS/AH/Wolf all have challenged Argo last year.

This year seems to be the strongest in ages. For me, I'd say its the strongest slate since 2003 with Mystic River/LOTR3/Lost In Translation/Seabiscuit/M&C.
