85th Academy Awards Nominations Thu 10.Jan.13 • Awards Sun 24.Feb.13 Rich's comments: After last year's appallingly flabby nominations, the Academy members have managed to be a lot more ambitious this year, recognising Amour in four mainstream categories in addition to Foreign, while picking much more interesting Documentary and Foreign-Language contenders than usual. Otherwise, things are as America- and male-centric as usual. The snub for Kathryn Bigelow is hugely surprising (Tom Hooper, not so much). Most impressive among the nominees, with all 7 top categories plus editing, was Silver Linings Playbook. And it's great to see The Pirates! get an Animation nomination after Bafta ignored it. But the most interesting thing here is that the winners are even less predictable than usual - Lincoln may have the most nominations but the voters clearly recognised that there are better films out there. And sure enough, in the end they scattered the awards among the leading contenders - including two big ones for Django Unchained and a deserving Ang Lee for Director.
