Oscar Nominations

Oscar Nominations were a day ago and writing this post I feel like I'm getting late to the party... Well, that's me! A turtle! Anyways, Oscar voters were good this year. Of course, some things were good, some were bad but I don't think any of those things was awful à la Blind Side last year...

Let's break those things down:

THE BAD

- No Andrew Garfield.

- No Mila Kunis.

- No Black Swan screenplay.

- No Black Swan in Costume Design.

It's good that all bad things are snubs and not horrific inclusions. Wait, I forgot:

- Tom Hooper: Is there anything more bland and generic than The King's Speech direction?

- Alice in Wonderland (it was butt-ugly and it was not intended as in Biutiful so... what is the achievement exactly?)

- The Best Song category. Let's hope this year they don't perform or Lauren Bacall will fall asleep...

THE HILARIOUS

- No Nolan in directing. Fanboys must be burning stuff...

THE GOOD

- A great array of ten nominees for Best Picture.

- Twenty respectable performances (of those I've seen HBC is the weakest one and she is good)

- Four auteurs in Best Director. 

- The Way Back for Make-Up.

THE GREAT

- Exit through the Gift Shop.

- Dogtooth.

- The Social Network's score (and all the other seven nominations).

- I Am Love for Best Costume Design.

THE FANTABULOUS

- Black Swan's cinematography.

- Black Swan's editing.

- Natalie Portman.

- DARREN ARONOFSKY.

- Black Swan for Best Picture.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

- Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole!!
