    I dont have a problem with anything except

    - Their love for Nebraska, which I thought was bad and sstole too many nominations
    - Their disinterest in Inside Llewyn Davis
    - Snubbing Tom Hanks
    - Their love for American Hustle, but I already knew that so its not a huge deal.

      Like how the best picture nominees are less oscar baity than the previous years. There's nothing like The Artist, Lincoln, Argo, or Les Miserables here.

        Yea its generally full of movies I loved or enjoyed. I just hope American Hustle doesn't pull of too many wins.

          Why?

          I thought it was the best movie of the year. I loved the Wolf but American Hustle was fantastic.

            WTF, 0 nominations for Catching Fire!?!?! OMG! Hello, does anyone else realize "Catching Fire" almost made as much money as Iron Man 3 and had about the same amount of action as Lone Survivor! Jennifer Lawrence had SUCH an amazing Mocking Jay outfit on in Catching Fire too!!! I don't want to spoil anything else for you guys, but in Mocking Jay she is totally gonna look soooooo much more awesome and kick so much more ass!

              I thought the movie tried to hard, was a little sloppy, had some over-acting, and is somewhere around 20th of the year for me.

                This will be the least amount of catch up I'll ever have to do for Oscar season...Philomena, Nebraska, and a few foreign films and that is about it.

                  I was genuinely interested in more movies this year than at any time in probably the last decade or so.

                  Hollywood restored my faith a bit this year.

                    American Hustle is so overrated.

                      It is a damn shame that the revival of the COMING OF AGE story isn't represented.

                        I fell asleep during 12 Years A Slave, but every time I woke up the black dude was being whipped or abused in some sort of way. I didn't finish the movie but from what I did see it was boring and repetitive. I understand they want the audience to understand the abuse he took but it was redundant, doesn't make the movie better just because he was abused so much.

                        I'll finish it eventually but I don't really want to.

                          American Hustle is incredibly boring. What a waste of an incredible cast. It's not interesting, funny, or particularly well done.

                          Have no idea how it's nominated for a million Oscars. I've walked out of one movie in my life (Meet Joe Black), but I was clock watching on this one and nearly handwaved it.

                            And just because people are comparing, Wolf of Wall St smokes American Hustle.

                            Marty fucked around a little, made a second rate Goodfellas, and still blew Russell out of the water. Don't fuck with Marty. He's the best.

                              Alright so I was high and on my 3rd film in a row when watching 12YAS the first time. Watched it again tonight and it is indeed a great film all around.

                              I don't particularly enjoy downers like this so it wouldn't get my vote but I can easily see it winning best picture. I still need to see Nebraska, Phil, Her, and Dallas Buyers Club but this is a film I can easily see the academy picking and I wouldn't argue it one bit.
