The academy is at it again!

How the fuck can you snub Ben Affleck for best director, yet still nominate Argo?

Also where the hell is The Dark Knight Rises nomination for best cinematography and visuals? :jackie:

Because Ben Affleck sucks at life.

No Ben Aflleck for Director, no Skyfall for best picture, no TDKRises for OST.

Yeah, not nominating Ben Affleck was weird. Also, where is The Master for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay? I was really hoping they'd nominate Dwight Henry for Best Supporting Actor for his great work in Beasts of the Southern Wild, as well as finally give Richard Gere an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Arbitrage.

Who the hell would nominate The Dark Knight Rises for Best Original Score? It's the same generic Hans Zimmer soundtrack that all of Nolan's blockbusters have. Not bad, but hardly original.

The sound track was the best in the trilogy, it's been highly praise and even nominated for a grammy. Not nominating it for an Oscar is just dumb.

Acadamy Awards = Irrelevant 4 Life

Seems to get anything good in the acadamy awards you either need to have a retarded main character or an American Patriotic film.

Of course it was highly-praised. It's a Hans Zimmer score. And being nominated for a Grammy doesn't mean jack-shit, lol. It was a repetitive score, not too bad, definitely pounding and epic, but totally interchangeable with the other Batman films and Inception.

Yeah, I know. Also I'm not saying he needed to win, just a simple nomination. Repetitive? Have you listened to it? I mean the full thing, not the film one where they loop certain parts. It's one of the best this year and the best score of the trilogy.
