The biggest surprises were the snubs of Ben Affleck (who won big for Argo at the Golden Globes last night) and Katheryn Bigelow in the Best Director category. I think guarantees a win for Steven Spielberg for Lincoln. It may be that the Oscar directing voters wanted to shy away from politics, rejecting both directors who helmed CIA-themed pictures.
I was also surprised that Beasts of the Southern Wild did so well picking up nominations for Best Picture, Actress (nine-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis) and director. I thought if they were going to reward a little indie film, they'd go with Moonrise Kingdom which got a screenplay nod. Executives must be pulling their hair out saying "We go them to go to ten nominees for Best Pictures so blockbusters like Dark Knight Rising and Skyfall get included. Instead they give it to a French downer about old people and a weird jagged thing about a little girl in a swamp?" Sat. I saw both Les Miz and Beasts and will do a separate blog on that.
