Also known as the day that the Academy announces who the nominees are for the 2011 Academy Awards but we all know that you are more excited to read my ramblings though...right?
So here is the official Academy Award site. It should automatically pop up on the nominations section but if not, just use one more click. I'm sure you all are smart enough to figure it out :)
A few snubs that are worth talking about here, most importantly Christopher Nolan.
It came as a shock to many that the Inception director did not garner a nomination though it is important to note that he has been snubbed in the past as well. Nolan has yet to achieve a personal nomination for direction but has been recognized for his screenwriting skills.
Other note-worthy snubs at least in my opinion include Miss Julianne Moore in The Kids Are Alright (though this was a little bit of a long shot, I still really like her and wanted her to get some recognition), the much buzzed about documentary Waiting for Superman, critically land uber-adorable Despicable Me.
On the other hand, we get to see Mark Ruffalo's face due to a surprise Best Supporting Actor nod
and youngster Hailee Steinfeld as well.
There are 58 nominated films and I'm starting at 11 previously viewed films. The ones that I have seen not as recently, I MIGHT re-watch heavily dependent on homework and an actual social life.
This will be the craziest month of my life. I'm glad that you all are here to join me!
