I'm shocked, but I still breathing... And I'm not talking about the area of water in Australia (due to the floods), I'm talking about some big Oscar snubs this year.
While I'm totally happy with the list of Best Picture nominees (it's equal to my predictions), but I can't understand why Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine) was snubed in the Best Leading Actor category: Javier Bardem took his place between the nominees. Wait! I'm not saying that Bardem doesn't deserve this recognition, because he actually would deserve it IF this year the race didn't had other "SO Good" contenders. I really hoped that Gosling would get it and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Robert Duvall in the list instead of him, but I serious wasn't prepared at all to see Bardem (I knew it was possible, he was under my consideration, but I thought it won't happen) and I didn't expected to see Gosling snubed if Williams was nominated.
Another shock: where's "Waiting for Superman"? It's a shame that such a great documentary was snubed! And... what about Andrew Garfield for The Social Network? Well... I think he's the male version of Scarlett Johansson in 2003 (she was snubed in spite of being part of a Best Picture quality movie (Lost In Translation) and of delivering two great performances in the same year (Lost In Translation; Girl With Pearl Earring) and now Mr. Garfield was snubed too in spite of two amazing performances in The Social Network and Never Let Me Go).
No Tom Hooper in the Best Director category? Hey! He directed The King's Speech! (kidding)
What's about Danny Elfman's amazing work in composing Alice In Wonderland's score? GOD! It was one of the best things of such a disapointing movie and so was the makeup work, which was also snubed! Hereafter is nominated for Best Visual Effects instead of Tron Legacy? I thought they were kiding with me!
HEY! WHY ISN'T CHRISTOPHER NOLAN NOMINATED FOR BEST DIRECTOR? IS THE ACADEMY GOING BLIND? THE BIGGEST SNUB OF THE YEAR AND MAYBE OF THE DECADE!
