Oscars Quick Slants & Reax!

The Good:

- #teamhaneke
- Always lovely to see an indie like Little Miss Sun...Beasts of The Southern Wild do so well
- Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook is a pleasant surprise
- Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman have several Oscar nominations between them. STICK THAT ON YOUR DVD The Dark Knight Rises. *Bats is sad*
- Moonrise Kingdom in Original Screenplay
- A Royal Affair. Expected, but great
- Harvey Weinstein


The Bad:

- Very little for Skyfall, Avengers. The year's blockbusters in general
- Life of Pi didn't need that many nominations. Is it an over-pouring of love
after Brokeback Mountain's snub?
- A generally weak field for 'animated feature film'. I recall previous years where only 3 films were nominated with 1 or 2 maybe unlucky to miss out. Not this year.
- Harvey Weinstein
- I'm not sure how The Master misses on Original Screenplay...which leads me on to...


The Ugly:

- BIGELOW!
- AFFLECK!!
- THE MASTER!
- ANNOUNCING BEST ORIGINAL SONG OVER DOCUMENTARY FEATURE. HMM!
- HARVEY WEINSTEIN!
