Finally, the 83rd Academy Award nominations are in and they are - disapointing, considering that 2010 provided us with many films that were great, the Academy seems to love snubbing people don't they.
Christopher Nolan for Best Director - Ok so David Fincher did do a great job on The Social Network but Nolan has always been a great director and always gets snubbed even though everyone else seems to love him (Golden Globes, DGA, PGA, CCA). Maybe in 2012, he will finally win for his third Batman flick.
Mila Kunis for Supporting Actress - Mila Kunis has always been a decent actress but she showed us her dark side in her sensual performance in Black Swan. Maybe her lesbian sex scene was just too much.
Andrew Garfield for Supporting Actor - The new Spider-Man gave us a riveting performance as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin but for some reason, the Academy chose the Winter's Bone guy instead.
Michael Douglas - After recovering from cancer, this guy managed to get several awards for both Solitary Man and his return as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street 2. Maybe it's because he already won as Gekko.
Tron: Legacy - Sure it's not Best Picture worthy, but Tron had one the best original scores in years thanks to Daft Punk and realistic dazzling FX. But it managed to get outed by the sloppy edited and filmed Herafter.
The Town - This film was sure to be a Best Picture nominee but it got snubbed and got one nom for Jeremy Renner's electrifying performance as bank robber Jem Coughlin. Instead it got snubbed by Winter's Bone.
Mark Wahlberg for The Fighter - Wahlberg lead a wonderful ensemble as boxer Mickey Ward but somehow did not get nominated, Academy what the hell is wrong with you guys, I mean seriously!
No Despicable Me or Tangled - C'mon these were both some of 2010's best animated flicks!
I think the Golden Globes would have had better nominations this year if it was without the stupid snubbing of True Grit and including Burlesque and the god-awful The Tourist so I think the most satisfying award show this year was the critic's choice awards. Everyone was nominated in the categories they deserved and some of the year's best films walked off with several wins. Academy you better shape the hell up for next year.
