The Oscars 2012
I am very happy that the nominees for the Oscars this year are different from the Golden Globes nominees. Of course, there are overlaps, but I think it's a good thing. So far I have been disappointed with the films I've seen. I watched Moneyball yesterday and... I don't even have anything to say about it. It was fine - nothing special. I hope that changes as I watch more films. I am especially excited about The Artist because it's something so different and unique. Most of the nominated movies are ones I haven't even heard of - which is fun because I don't know what to expect. I am happy to see The Ides of March is not heavily nominated - this gives me hope because that movie... well... it sucked. Let's keep it real. First of all, I want to mention that I don't care about a lot of the categories. Some, like editing and art direction are really hard to guess because I don't know enough about it. I will stick to the major acting awards, best picture,
