Our four favorite surprises from today’s Oscar nominations

Tags: bridesmaids cars 2 hugo oscar nomination surprises oscar nominations oscar surprises Oscars pixar the artist

  • one The amazing silent film “The Artist” didn’t top the nomination list — “Hugo” had one more, despite the fact it was shut out of the acting categories.
  • two “The Tree of Life” must’ve confused the Academy: A strange message, “Nominees to be determined,” accompanies its Best Picture nomination.
  • three Maybe not a huge surprise, but Pixar’s “Cars 2” is the first Pixar flick that didn’t get a single nomination for an Oscar. Perhaps it’s because it sucked? Yeah, probably.
  • four And a surprise going the other way: Melissa McCarthy got an acting nomination for “Bridesmaids,” her breakout role. The question is, will she win? source

    No “Pariah” though. As you can imagine, there...Internet outrage.
  5. notexactly said: I was shocked by the nominations for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, since that was a critically drubbed film.

  7. stopdroptroll said: It’ll be a nice surprise to see which Animated Film wins for best this year - having Pixar in the category each year didn’t make it suspenseful at all.
