December 15, 2012 at 2:36PM EST Reply to CommentTotal number of actors longlisted: 38.
Total number of actresses longlisted: 22.
Sigh.
a As sad as it may seem when you comsider the proportion of male to female roles, the ratios here may not even be that bad.
December 16, 2012 at 1:58AM ESTThe origin of the problem may lie elsehwere. This is just a symptom.

December 15, 2012 at 2:38PM EST Reply to CommentI get that the numbers are random since it's based simply on individual mentions, but it's still dispiriting.
/3rt Does your personal long list for actresses extend longer? If so I'd like to see it.
December 15, 2012 at 2:59PM ESTGuy Lodge It wouldn't be significantly shorter than the one for actors. Don't tell me you can't think of plenty of worthy actresses not mentioned above.
December 15, 2012 at 3:47PM EST/3rt Honest to God I haven't seen enough 2012 titles.

December 15, 2012 at 2:59PM EST Reply to CommentWhy is Amy Adams a best actress and best supporting actress nominee for the same film? The more the merrier, but is that a typo? Maybe the Eastwood film was meant to be in place of The Master for lead?
Kristopher Tapley Not a typo. I guess it just means she was mentioned for both.

December 15, 2012 at 3:19PM EST Reply to CommentWhoah, Scarlett Johansson? Really? Who voted for her? Why are there so little supporting actresses listed and yet SHE is one of them?
They could have gone with Ann Dowd or Nicole Kidman, they could have gotten even weirder with worthy candidates like Sarah Silverman in Take This Waltz, Gloria Reuben in Lincoln, Carmen Ejogo in Sparkle, Charlize Theron in Snow White....a little imagination Indiana, come on.
Z What's wrong Scarlett Johansson in Hitchcock? Great performance and the film is very underrated.

December 15, 2012 at 4:59PM EST Reply to CommentNo one thought Argo deserved a mention for Best Adapted Screenplay? That is a little odd.

December 15, 2012 at 5:41PM EST Reply to CommentBest thing about this is seeing Channing Tatum next to Jean-Louis Trintignant. I'm a fan of The Chan & his perf in Magic Mike, but the juxtaposition still made me smile.
Worst is the low number of best actresses cited. When there are arguably still 8 women in play for the Oscar, they can only come up with 10 for a longlist of nominees? Really?

December 15, 2012 at 5:58PM EST Reply to CommentWhichever member decided to put "Safety Not Guaranteed" all over their ballots is my hero.
ChrisLominac I was really happpy to see Jake Johnson mentioned. If I had a ballot for Best Supporting Actor he would at least be in consideration.

December 15, 2012 at 8:55PM EST Reply to CommentThis is ridiculous. No Kidman or Dowd or Smith or Dench in Best Supporting Actress.

December 15, 2012 at 9:03PM EST Reply to CommentLet's stop complaining about omissions for a second and recognize that this is kind of awesome and show diversity within the voting body. When the critics organizations' nominations are handed out, we all kind of yawn because we see the same movies and performances listed over and over. I really like that the Indiana critics changed it up a little bit so we can see a bigger picture. Good on 'em for mentioning Nick Offerman outside of Parks & Rec and so much love for Safety Not Guaranteed.

December 15, 2012 at 9:18PM EST Reply to CommentI didn't look at the entire thing (wow, who cares, Indiana?) but I did see HOLY MOTORS for a Best Picture mention, but no Director mention. How does one go for one and not the other? But, then again, Sacha Gervasi's direction for HITCHCOCK was... umm... a thing?

December 16, 2012 at 1:55AM EST Reply to CommentI'd put 'Lincoln' under "original vision". I've never seen a film quite like it before and I mean that in a good way.
