Here's mine. Damn. I switched out Winter's Bone for The Town and John Hawkes for Matt Damon at the last minute..... Shit, I'm an idiot. :P I thought it might be to small for the Academy. I was so wrong...

Why do the Coen bros. get nominated for directing a good remake, while Nolan gets cast aside for directing a phenomenal original film??

It is an absolute travesty that Christopher Nolan didn't receive a nom for Best Director. The AMPAS really screwed the pooch on that one, and their love affair with the Coen brothers truly shines through the deceit.

Sorry Mr. Nolan, but the Coen brothers just have the "privilege" of constantly being pampered by the Academy.

I think this was his biggest opportunity and because the AMPAS is a bunch of a$$ kissing b****es, he's going to miss it.

great directing has nothing to do with the story or if it was a remake or not. that's a debate for what should be nominated or respected as Best Picture. not Best Director

[fgomike]

The AcaDummy never ceases to amaze me. What do they have against successful directors? Nolan is getting treated like Spielberg. He keeps churning out excellent movies and after about 10 -15 years, the AcaDummy will not be able to ignore him anymore (ala Schindler's List) and then he will win.

They never win for the movie they should have.

Examples - Spielberg - E.T. and Color Purple

Zemeckis - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Hitchcock - everything he directed

Coen Bros - Fargo

Fincher - Benjamin Button

Nolan - Memento, Inception.



Granted, I do not think Inception is going to win Best Picture, but glad to see it nominated. I just think what Nolan did was superior to the directors who were nominated. The only guy who I think who is in the same class as Nolan is Aronofsky. Fincher will most likely win.

Oh well, I should learn. It happens every year. Sorry, I just realized I posted in the wrong Academy thread

(Uh, did they say there's five this year, as there's traditionally only three?)

[Romulus]

After doing a little research, there are only typically 3 nominations for Visual Effects. However, there are 5 nominees each for Sound Mixing/Editing.
