I'm starting to wonder if the whisper campaign against 12 Years a Slave is starting to have an impact. A month ago, you'd think it would top virtually all of the various critics circles' lists. It's still a lock to get a Best Picture nomination but it doesn't look like a guaranteed win anymore. 12YAS peaked too early, and now the critics are a little resentful of it. I'm reading reviews for other movies that say stuff like, "I know I'm supposed to think 12YAS is the best movie of the year, but I liked this movie a lot more." Also, the burden of Oscar campaigning seems to have fallen on Steve McQueen, who is not good at it. He doesn't smile, he's curt, he always lets people know he's smarter than them, and he talks too much about how campaigning is beneath him. And then the other day he said people accuse him of being surly because he's black, which is so not where his campaign should be going.

Very very happy for Daniel Brühl's nom. I don't think he'll go all the way to the Oscars but this is a pretty big one and I love that he got recognized for his role in Rush. Globes noms tomorrow, I think? Should be interesting.

Woohoo, another nom for Daniel :-)
So is JLaw a lock for American Hustle? I can't believe she's going to have her third Oscar nom at the age of 23 with one BA win already. That's really something. I'm looking forward to watching AH, I like the entire cast so even if I still don't really know what it's about, I'll be there.

Yeah, I like the AH cast too but I have a very strong aversion to anything set in the 70s. Good God, the clothes and hair in that era were just hideous.

The shag rugs, my mother used to rake her rugs almost daily. WTF?

Wow, is Jordan Catalano about to be nominated for an Oscar?
Happy to see Monica Potter recognized. And Brooklyn 99, I'm loving that show.
Not happy to see Game of Thrones shut out.

It's looking more and more like I'll have to force myself to watch yet another over-praised Woody Allen movie. Bah.
