Damn, Affleck didn’t get the B. Director nomination, nor did Bigelow for ZD30…
Interesting.
Is Quvenzhané Wallis the youngest nominee ever?
I don’t know about “ever”, but they mentioned she was the youngest for this category.
The kid from Kramer vs. Kramer was 8 when he was nominated.

The directors category has to be the most surprising at all, only lining up 2/5 with the guild. A lot of people were predicting Tom Hooper to be left out, since the reception for his direction for Les Miserables has been mixed, but Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow were widely considered locks. I’m happy for Benh Zeitlin, though.
Silver Linings Playbook is the first movie since Reds in 1981 to get nominations in all four acting categories. Jacki Weaver was a huge surprise there.
The guilds have yet to announce their winners, but I have to think that Lincoln is the frontrunner at this point.
I also note that there are no nominations for big-budget movies that the audience loves, “so let’s nominate them as to boost ratings for the award show” - no Skyfall, no Avengers, nothing.
Right now, yeah, it looks like Lincoln’s year…
Youngest female.
Another trivia tidbit; every nominee for Best Supporting Actor already has at least one Oscar in his trophy case. I don’t know if that has ever happened before.
There might not have been any tentpoles nominated, but this is a pretty box-office-friendly slate of nominees. Four have already cross the $100 million mark (Lincoln, Argo, Django Unchained, and Les Miserables), and Life of Pi might manage to cross that line if it gets enough of a post-nominations bounce. Plus, Zero Dark Thirty won’t go into wide release until Friday, and it’s already done huge business in limited release.
It’s quite a change over last year’s nominees, where The Help was the only big hit among the nominees.
(This is stream of consciousness as I look at the Oscar list, so hold on)
What a shit Oscars list this year.
-Pretty much no recognition for movies like Moonrise Kingdom or The Impossible, but a ton of talk for films that really weren’t that amazing like Silver Linings Playbook and Life of Pi.
-Bradley Cooper gets a nom for actor in leading role? PLEASE.
-What the eff did de Niro do in Silver Linings Playbook? I’ll tell you what he didn’t do. Smash a skull with a hammer and then improvise the whole scene with his hand gashed open. Fuckin give Leo some credit.
-I really hope Naomi isn’t overlooked for The Impossible. What a masterful and powerful movie and performance on her part.
-WORST. ANIMATED. FEATURE. FILM. LIST. EVER.
-No nom going to the Impossible for cinematography. BOO. Hope Django or Skyfall gets the nod. (Side note: Did you see all that crap in Skyfall? That was amazingly filmed and it had an awesome color palette)
-No nod to Django for costume design? Wasn’t that the ONE nomination that was secretly released? WTF?
-What a crap directing list. No Quentin, No Affleck, and No Bigalow. Enjoy your Oscar, Spielberg.
-No Rust and Bone for foreign language film. Again, WTF.
-Hitchcock vs. Hobbit for Makeup and Hair. Will be interesting.
-Does Django, or any of Quentin’s films for that matter, not get any nods for their music because its not original?
-Argo better win adapted screenplay
-Django better win original screenplay.
-I hope Prometheus gets a nod for all the crazy crap it did for its visual effects.
-Music: LET THE SKYFAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
True, that.
I expressed my opinion about a film going into wide release on 1-11-2013 being nominated for 2012 awards earlier in this thread… 
Random observations:
Big love for Beasts of the Souther Wild, and Amour. 
I was hoping for more for Moonrise Kingdom. And The Impossible. 
Seth McFarlane got a nomination, could the host win one? 
I don’t really get the love for Alan Arkin. He’s OK, as he always is, but Oscar all the time? I guess I’m missing something in the subtlety of his performance in difficult roles. :rolleyes:
…Oh yeah, one more…
No love for Marion Cotillard in Rust & Bone. Early talk was whe was a shoe in?
I have a hazy memory of an award presenter (back in the 40s?) who opened the envelope to find that they were the winner, but I can’t find the reference now. Perhaps I’m mis-remembering things…
More thoughts:
What the fuck is up with Master being snubbed for Cinematography AND Directing AND Best Picture…Come on!
Snow White nominated over Cloud Atlas.
Cloud Atlas snubfest in general.
Fun thought for the day: Mirror Mirror and Snow White & The Huntsman can call themselves “Academy Award Nominated” Films. Looper, Cloud Atlas, and even The Dark Knight Rises can’t.
Irving Berlin presented the Oscar to himself for Best Song for “White Christmas” from Holiday Inn, 1942. The only time this has happened.
Thanks!
From the Oscars Rules: “An original score is a substantial body of music that serves as original dramatic underscoring and is written specifically for the motion picture by the submitting composer.” After all, the category is “Outstanding Original Score.” How much of the music in Django Unchained was written for the film?
As for Animated Features, what would you have included? Then again, there was a lot of love for stop-motion (Pirates, Frankenweenie, and ParaNorman, right?); apparently, if it’s not stop-motion or Disney, don’t bother.
I loved Silver Linings Playbook and would have no problem with it winning Best Picture, but I think De Niro as a nom is stretching it enough; Jacki Weaver definitely feels like too much. I think Lincoln and Les Mis were also over-nominated in various areas, while Moonrise Kingdom seems to be the biggest omission. I’d also like to have seen The Master up for Best Picture, but it’s hard to argue when it got nominations in three of the acting categories.
I could understand not liking the movie overall (even though I loved it), but the cinematography snub is just baffling to me. Surely even people who hate the movie can see how glorious it looks? Grrr.
Well there was that cool Ennio Morrichone song he did for it. That aside, it sucks that his whole soundtrack shtick gets overlooked.
I was more just saying that there weren’t any really good animated features the year, not that anyone particularly got snubbed.
