The TV noms excite me way more to be honest ;-) I hadn't realized though that Political Animals was a miniseries. I thought it was just another short-seasoned cancelled show. But yay for Sigourney Weaver, I like her. And double yay for Michelle Dockery!!

As for the movie noms: no surprises there I guess. Happy to see Leo in there because after the SAG snub his Oscar chances are pretty much kaputt IMHO.

I've got to say that this is one of the few awards seasons in recent years where I have a desire to see all the potential Best Picture nominees. Seriously, I can't wait to see all of them. I'm sad I missed Argo because I love Affleck as a director.

I HAVE seen though "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and thought that both were awful. All the involved actors were good but I couldn't get over plot and dialogue in both cases.

Also, what's up with Rachel Weisz's nom? Wasn't The Deep Blue Sea released more than a year ago?

[Deleted]

I am so perplexed by the Michelle Dockery nominations. She is the weakest link on Downton - every line delivered in the same bored, flat monotone, her face generally expressionless (the most she can seem to manage is vague consternation at everything); she puts zero subtext into any of her scenes; and despite the ~romance with Matthew, I find her chemistry-free with every actor she plays against. I just don't get it! The actress who plays Mrs. Patmore does more with what she's given.

I'd say the HPFA really liked Django Unchained - I haven't seen it yet, obviously, but considering my love for Tarentino, I'm sure I'll love it. I'm hoping that at least one of these major noms translates to the Oscars. (Christoph? Hopefully?)

Is Nicole Kidman in supporting really going to happen? Really?

I never made it past two episodes of S2 - Downton Abbey and the first episode of The Newsroom but judging by the outrage on the internet today seems like both were undeserved. While Mad Men may have been better than these two, it was subpar to the other seasons so I’m glad it was snubbed. I would have liked to see the same happen to Jon Hamm who sort of just stood around and didn’t do much this season to show that he deserved the nomination. Not when Christina Hendricks wasn’t nominated. I thought Sons of Anarchy should have been nominated for a strong 5th season although that was a reaaaly long shot but most importantly, no Game of Thrones? Not even one? Who are these people?

On the movie’s front, I have only seen Lincoln so far and am happy with all the nominations for that movie, especially Tommy Lee Jones. For those who have seen Django, any ideas on Jamie Foxx being snubbed when both Leo and C. Waltz got acting nods? Was his performance that weak compared to these two?

[Deleted]

I'm a shameless Michelle Dockery fan and thought that she was great in season 2 despite the season's flaws. But I do get why others would dislike her.

It's weird how Kidman suddenly got a serious Oscar campaign on her with two big noms within two days. Also, is she really supporting? Hard to think of Nicole Kidman as a supporting actress, I mean she's Nicole freaking Kidman ;-) But I guess peeing on Zefron's face (and really, that's all I know about this film) was worth a vote to SAG and GG voters.

It's a shame because I really liked the character of Mary in the first season - it was such a surprise, to have the heroine be this unapologetically classist, snobby, cold woman. Then Michelle's performance worked. But in the seasons since, it feels like she's still playing S1 Mary, and it just jars me. The Dockery stans on ONTD don't help me either, heh.

I haven't seen Django but from what I've heard it's not a matter of Jamie giving a bad performance so much as Leo, Christoph and even Sam Jackson having much baitier roles. When the movie was in development, Tarantino really wanted Will Smith to star in it and they had talks but Will did Men In Black III instead. But I think if Will had played Django there would probably be a little more Oscar buzz, since he's a bigger star than Jamie. But anyway, for a while, Waltz was being campaigned as a lead (Harvey Weinstein trying to clear the path for a DiCaprio nomination) but then Waltz started winning supporting awards from the critics' groups, so now he's back there. When Oscar comes around no one is sure how many supporting actor nods Django will get, if any (there's a thought the support will be spread out so much that all of them will miss).

Saw Zero Dark Thirty last night. Best Picture and Best Director are now locked up.

[Atreides]

I haven't seen it yet (but want to) but I would think that a big negative against ZD30 and Bigelow is that she and her movie won Best Picture/Director just three years ago.

I can't wait to see this movie.

I saw Silver Linings Playbook this weekend and I get the Oscar hype for Lawrence. She was phenomenonal as was Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro. I loved the movie, though I thought the director went overboard with the constant camera spinning and out-of-focus shots.

As long as Les Mis doesn't win best director or picture, I'll be happy.
