Some quick thoughts-
First of all, where the fuck is Oprah? It's not a huge surprise since she was left off the Golden Globes nominations and sure the movie was far from amazing, but Oprah was a stand-out in an otherwise manipulative by the numbers walk down history memories lane.
Sad to see that Emma Thompson was not nominated for Best Actress, but I suppose from an academy perspective, regal British lady isn't too much of a stretch for her.
More excited about the Best Supporting Actor category than anything else. If either Barkhad Abdi of Captain Phillips or Jared Leto of Dallas Buyers Club wins, I will feel that justice has been served.
Happy to see Woody Allen nominated for his screenplay although I think it borrows HEAVILY from A Streetcar Named Desire, from character archetypes to plot points to underlying themes.
Final thought- Sure Cate Blanchet does crazy very well, but my emotional vote goes to Judi Dench.
