Oscar predictions: Post-DGA rankings
Golden Globes: How did they affect the Oscar race?
To a large degree I’m liking these nomninations far better than the likely Oscar nominations.
me too. julianne moore! babs hershey! inception love!….
not the biggest fan of the garfield nom or the lack of love for blue valentine tho….
Me2. THRILLED Noomi Rapace is FINALLY honored for her brilliant performances in all 3 Girl With The Dragon Tattoo films. She is amazing.
Me too because I feel THE FIGHTER is overrated, and I was glad to see BAFTA agreed with me.
Its a classy list. I like it.
I’m happy to see Deathly Hallows got Two nods. But I’m willing to bet they will give it to Inception and Alice in Wonderland. Harry Potter just can’t cut a break with these things. The series has been nominated for over 20 Baftas and still hasn’t won…I don’t think.
Couldn’t agree more
Love the Inception love…
A few surprises here, but it will be interesting to hear about which films were inelegible in the UK. The BAFTAS sometimes match the Oscars in a good way (remember Alan Alda) and this year Bardem, Rapace, the exclusion of Melissa Leo and Julianne Moore are surprising
Julianne Moore is not excluded, she’s in the lead actress category
True, I meant her inclusion i just phrased it horribly
Love that Julianne Moore got some love! Even though I’m madly in love with Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey did do a better job.
Barbara Hershey is way better than Kunis. I do not understand why Kunis is the one getting nominated.
Hopefully, this will translate to OScar nom as well.
Unfortunately the balloting for Oscar nominations has already ended I’m afraid… So it won’t make a difference
How is Toy Story 3 an adapted screenplay?
It’s a sequel. Characters were based on the original Toy Story
Sequels are considered an adapted screenplay.
While I am glad to see that Barbara Hershey got some recognition, I would have liked to see Mila Kunis in the Supporting Actress category. It’s not that Kunis did better, but her performance was more of a shock to me than Hershey’s. Hersehy was great in A Killing in a Small Town but I had only seen Kunis in That 70′s Show and was shocked at her dramatic performance. Happy with the list overall though and am a little worried with the placement of Hailee Steinfeld as I want her to get an Oscar nomination because she did fantastic.
It’s so weird that article doesn’t even mention 127 Hours which got 8 Nominations! The press is the US is generally just ignoring this movie, which is resulting in it’s slim chances for Best Picture and Director Nominations.
I think the general consensus is 127 Hours isn’t a real contender for Best Picture or Director (might get nominations but no chance of winning) because Danny Boyle’s last film won all the awards. To get the same recognition for your next film you really have to make an amazing film people can’t ignore, and 127 Hours isn’t as instantly catching as Slumdog was.
Interesting. I notice they didn’t nominate Melissa Leo, but it makes sense they would shine attention on British films. Great list here!
I like the way the BAFTAs came out. They broke the mold and maybe there will be a surprise or two.
The surprise to me is that “Never Let Me Go” is shut out. While I didn’t expect it to get awards in the U.S., I figured it would still land some BAFTA nominations.
Yeah, I thought at least Carey Mulligan might pull off a nomination here.
Interesting. I’m very pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Julianne Moore, although I guess that meant the exclusion of Nicole Kidman, who certainly deserves to be nominated. Jeremy Renner was left out in favor of Pete Postlethwaite, which is interesting. I’m also shocked that Melissa Leo was left out. Very strange. And Barbara Hershey may very well be more deserving of the nomination than Mila Kunis, but what can I say, I’m totally biased when it comes to Mila Kunis. I wanted her to be nominated, and I hope she can still pull off an Oscar nomination.
It’s also nice to see that Black Swan was nominated for Special Visual Effects. Often times, it’s only the big budget action movies that get nominated in this category (no offense to the ones that did; Inception, Harry Potter, and Alice in Wonderland all had superb visual effects and are deserving of being nominated). But it’s just cool to see that a movie with subtler, but still fantastic effects can get recognized. Hopefully the Oscars will get that right too.
Natalie FTW..
woooo Monsters! even if only 1 nom
I’m really hoping the Oscars at least recognize Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams for their outstanding work in Blue Valentine… both of them had the best performance of the year in their respective categories, in my opinion.
Blue Valentiine was not released in the UK until this past week. I am guessing that the film was ineligable, which is a bummer.
