This is a very exciting day indeed; the Oscar nominations have been announced! I have to admit that I was quite surprised to hear who got nominated and who didn't. (the full list of nominees here)
At first, Best Picture -category. There were no big surprises in this one. I was quite happy to hear that The Tree of Life got a nomination because I really like that movie. On the other hand, I was little amazed that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close got a nomination because it hasn't got very good reviews. But I haven't seen it, so it could be a good movie nevertheless.
A category that did surprise me, was Best Actor in a Leading Role. Who is Demián Bichir? I have never heard of him or his movie A Better Life. But I'm going to find out about that soon.
A category that made me almost angry, was the Best Animated Feature Film of the Year. Why isn't The Adventures of Tintin nominated? Why?? Even though the plot of that movie was at least insane, the movie itself was really good. The plot of The Tree of Life was "insane", too, but it got nominated, so why not Tintin, too?
The last category I'm going to discuss, is Best Original Song -category. Why does it only have two nominees? And why isn't either of them Gnomeo & Juliet's 'Hello hello'?
So many questions and so few answers... Now I just have to start watching the films which is going to be quite a lot of work since I have only a month. But I'll make it, I'm sure about that :)
I forgot to mention my disappointment for the fact that Uggie didn't get nominated. What a shame, that little talented dog would have deserved it, indeed.
