WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

[kungfuwaynewho]

What happened with the Oscar nominations?  I mean seriously, what happened?

• Bigelow and Affleck both get snubbed in Direction.
• I mean the Director lineup just in general.  Fuck David O'Russell.
• Moonrise Kingdom doesn't get a Picture nomination.
• No Looper in Screenplay.
• No John Hawkes in Actor.
• Where the actual fuck did Jacki Weaver come from?  I didn't really think Ann Dowd would get in, but no Ann Dowd and Jacki Weaver instead?
• This isn't a surprise, because everyone knew Alan Arkin would get in, but he would have been the third most interesting supporting performance in Argo, under Bryan Cranston and John Goodman.
• I literally cannot with Editing.
• No Hobbit for Costume?  (But Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman make it in.)  Or for Sound Editing?  Or Sound Mixing?  (Lincoln for Mixing?  Really?  Really.)  No nomination for "Song of the Lonely Mountain?"
• And where are The Avengers' Sound nominations?  Oh right, there are none.
• I literally cannot with Documentary Feature, but I knew that when the first short-list was announced.
• Hitchcock for Makeup over Lincoln?  Anthony Hopkins literally looked like he was melting.
• I fundamentally do not understand Life of Pi getting nominated for Production Design.

Bright spots:

• Christoph Waltz.

I have seriously like been seething this whole morning.  These are the worst.  THE WORST.

In conclusion, GPOY:

My two cents: Denzel Washington totally deserved a nomination IMO. I'd have been very pissed (not that I REALLY care about Oscars and any awards shows in the recent years lol wake me when Jack Coleman gets nominated) if he wasn't nominated.

And the other thing: I really want to see "Silver Linings Playbook" and I see that De Niro and Bradley Cooper earned nominations for it.

Affleck snub is CRAZY. That is all.

I haven't seen Flight, but I heard that it was good, and that Denzel was good. My line-up for actor was Day-Lewis, Washington, Hawkes, Jack Black, and Joaquin Phoenix - so I was 3/5. But I'm just stunned that John Hawkes didn't make it in.

See, I did want to see SLP, but now it's become that movie that I just sort of irrationally dislike, heh. There's one every year, and I can't explain it. I do love De Niro, though. I have a feeling Alan Arkin's got this in the bag, but I can see De Niro sneaking in.

LOL I know the feeling, I have movies like that LOL. And even actors. XD

I can't believe I haven't watched The Master yet!

Me neither! I was going to see it opening weekend because a local theater was showing it in 35mm, but then no one would go with me and I was in A Mood and didn't want to go alone. So I didn't. I'll catch it when it's on Netflix, though.
