January 5, 2012 at 7:11PM EST Reply to CommentNo "Hugo" anywhere? That makes sense. No Michelle Williams? That's weird.
forg No The Help as well

January 5, 2012 at 7:23PM EST Reply to CommentLars for best director? That's pretty awesome. SO happy to see Woody getting some attention for Rampart! I can't take these noms too seriously when they exclude both Williams and Swinton and nominate Ryan Gosling (who I dearly love) for Crazy Stupid Love.
Guy Lodge You can't take them too seriously because they're a little independent-minded?
January 5, 2012 at 8:25PM ESTLaura Stewart No, I can't take them too seriously when they exclude really great performances in favor of what I consider meh. I didn't think Ryan Gosling was doing anything special in C,S,L beyond being ab-tastic. I gave them kudos for nominating Lars and Woody.

January 6, 2012 at 5:00AM ESTJamie That seems a little silly. It's not as if Swinton and Williams were excluded in favor of Gosling. His nomination doesn't have anything to do with those actresses being snubbed. It would be a more focused criticism if you didn't care for one or more of the nominees in the actual category that Swinton and Williams were excluded from.

January 6, 2012 at 5:22AM EST Reply to CommentNice to see more Melancholia and Dunst love as well as for Martha Marcy May Marlene. At last Contagion gets some precursor recognition in the very deserved screenplay and esemble categories. And Hanna for score!!

January 7, 2012 at 1:06PM EST Reply to CommentAs much as I enjoy seeing "Melancholia" and "Martha Marcy May Marlene" getting nominated, I'm a bit dissappointed because of "The Help's" total snub.
