apocalypsos | Oscars!

Only nine Best Film nominations? Huh. Says a lot about the movies eligible, that is. That said, “Amour” and “Beasts of the Southern Wild” made it in, which makes me so happy, because those were two I thought probably not going to make it.
I was hoping Suraj Sharma would get a nom for “Life of Pi” because he carries the movie for, like, an hour an a half straight, but alas. *sigh*
OMG QUVENZHANE WALLIS!!! I’m so happy, because she was phenomenal in that movie. I was going to type “for a six-year-old”, but no, screw that, she was phenomenal for an actress of any age.
It’s times like this that I’m glad for torrented screeners, because if I had to pay money to watch “Django Unchained” and “The Impossible”, I would be so very pissed off.
Oh, look, hardly any people of color. Other than Quvenzhane Wallis and Denzel, it’s all white people. Urgh.
I’m so glad for Emmanuelle Riva! I still have to watch “Amour”, but I thought Marion Cotilliard was going to take the “foreign film actress sneaking into the acting nominations” slot, so good for Riva.
Yay, Hugh Jackman got his first Oscar nomination! I’m incredibly happy he got it for a musical, because he’s been so good when it comes to the theater community.
I just realized Ben Affleck and Quentin Tarantino didn’t get nominated for directing. I’m upset about Affleck (who really needs to be recognized for his directing prowess, honestly), but not about Tarantino.
Aw, it just hit me that “Moonrise Kingdom” didn’t get nominated for Best Picture. Damn it, I loved that movie.
Oh, and “Rise of the Guardians” didn’t get a nom for Best Animated Picture. I guess “Pirates!” took its spot.
