And it's official because I used all caps in the subject, just in case you can't read, God damn it.

They're due to start rolling out in an hour, and I may not be on the stick as I won't be in front of a TV or have any kind of live stream, so post and compile 'em as they become available.

They actually start announcing them live in about 20 minutes. 5:30 a.m. PCT, 8:30 a.m., EST.

Jennifer Lawrence is co-announcing them.

EDIT: Here's a link to watch live.

^This is why the Academy needs a Best Ensemble award.

I don't see a stream yet on that other link, but there is one going live here.

EDIT: And FYI, I believe they actually start announcing at about 8 minutes past the half-hour mark.

Whoo, Malick for ToL, Woody for MiP.

Is Gary Oldman a surprise? Good for him. One of these days.

Extremely Loud?!?!?!?!

WTF????

[best12bars]

Posted: 1/24/12 at 8:44am

Tree of Life got a Best Pic nod! Wasn't expecting that.

So did Midnight in Paris. Bleh.

[tazber]

Posted: 1/24/12 at 8:44am

Yay for Tree Of Life though.

Wow! Many surprises.

No Tilda Swinton for Best Actress??? Boooooo!

[themysteriousgrowl]

Posted: 1/24/12 at 8:46am

That is HILARIOUS.

So, all I took down were the 9 BP nominees.

We'll have a complete list eventually. I'm sure someone's on that -- best?!

BEST PICTURE

War Horse
The Artist
Moneyball
The Descendants
The Tree of Life
Midnight in Paris
The Help
Hugo
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close




My incredulity at the final nominee almost -- ALMOST -- offsets my elation for "Tree of Life." I don't care if it wins a single thing. I'm just so happy it's been nominated.

As for the rest... well... I guess, yeah. Looking at it objectively, it *looks* like a disappointing list. It's been a better year for movies than is being represented by this group, it seems.



EDIT: best, you are QUICK!

I love the unexpected choices for Animated Feature. I'll have to check a couple of those out.

[best12bars]

Posted: 1/24/12 at 8:47am

I just copy/pasted from a website. (No, I can't type that fast.)

I'll post a full list when I find one. Or someone else can if they do first.

I'm still in shock that Loud got a nomination over Dragon Tattoo or Bridesmaids.

Very happy for Tree of Life but BOOOOOOOO to no Fassbender!! (And Mulligan too)

[best12bars]

Posted: 1/24/12 at 8:52am

By my count, The Artist has 9 nominations.

Interesting ... only two songs are up for Best Song:

"Man or Muppet" and "Real in Rio."

I noticed that too. How come they don't fill out the category?
