King Rules 2011 Oscar Nominations
The nominees for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning—shortly thereafter followed the inevitable discussion of who was unjustly snubbed. Among those who didn’t receive their expected nominations are Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter) and Mila Kunis (Black Swan). Also snubbed was Christopher Nolan, who received nominations for writing and co-producing Inception, but not for directing it. He also missed out on a directing nod for 2008’s The Dark Knight; did he kick Academy President Tom Sherak’s dog or something?
The film to receive the most nominations was The King’s Speech; it grabbed 12 nominations, including ones for Colin Firth (Best Actor), Tom Hooper (Best Director) and David Seidler (Best Original Screenplay), as well as one for Best Movie. Other potential big winners include True Grit (10 nominations), The Social Network (eight nominations) and Inception (eight nominations).
The 83rd Annual Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 27th at 8 p.m. For more information visit oscar.go.com.

No surprises here really other than Christopher Nolan NOT getting nominated for Best Director. What a snub! I also thought The Social Network was severely overrated and got most of its attention due to the subject matter rather than the movie as a whole. I’m a big David Fincher fan and he’s never let me down. Good movie but it didn’t make my Top Ten. I thought Howl was by far the best movie of the year with its combination of animation, acting (James Franco as Allen Ginsberg), and cinematography. You can check out my list on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-10-movie-picks-of-2010.html

Brandt: I agree that Howl was a great movie. It was refreshing to see a movie about a famous literary/historical figure that’s NOT just a straight biopic. The format the film used was great--intercutting scenes of Ginsberg reading Howl with scenes of his talking about his life, and also the obscenity trial and the animation made the movie so much more interesting than if it had just been a linear version of “This guy was born. He did some stuff. Then he died.”

I saw True Grit and Black Swan on the same day. Back to back actually because no one was in the theater so we just walked right in with no tickets. But yeah, I thought Black Swan was way better than True Grit. In fact, I thought Black Swan was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and I don’t really care for ballet. It kept you on the edge of your seat and that’s what I like in movies.
