There were still some surprising snubs in this years Oscar noms…………a few that I am really ticked about and some that just gets a raised eyebrow. Here’s the list…….
- The Blind Side being nominated for Best Picture is bulls**t plain and simple.
- Julianne Moore NOT being nominated in the Supporting Actress category was nothing short of requiring a call to Amnesty International for Human Rights violations! Maggie Gyllenhall being nominated in her place for a GOD AWFUL performance in Crazy Heart was what put my fingers on the phone!
- Viggo Mortensen being locked out of Best Actor and The Road being locked out of everything was another travesty. Not even a Best Adapted Screenplay nod? The film itself is standard Oscar fodder which makes this all the more surprising!
- Last year Gran Torino and this year Invictus? The Academy really seems to have it in for Clint these days!
What are your thoughts? Let us know!
Leave it to Clint Eastwood to make a movie about the horror and atrocity of apartheid in South Africa and claim it was all overcome by the Rugby World Cup. I don’t care how (ridiculously) hot Matt Damon is in it – It’s in breathtakingly bad taste.
