Oscar Nominations 2013

All day I was waiting for this list! In few words, time difference sucks:)

But let's get to the point. It looks like I will have a lot to catch up before 24th Feb which actually makes me really happy  :)

Movies about politics, subject I don't particularly like appear more often on the screen lately. And by number of nominations I'm guessing Lincoln must be a really good one as it received 12 nominations! Am not gonna mention all of them but Daniel Day-Lewis (who I really admire) is nominated as actor in leading role, Steven Spielberg (yes, we already forgot about Sharks) for directing and the movie itself. Haven't seen it yet so no opinion here...but I can only imagine Daniel with his ambitious approach towards roles he chooses will get Oscar!

Life of Pi landed with 11 Oscar nominations, by the way...interesting title...also I have not seen this one yet but judging by the types of nominations it's a movie with really good sound: music (original score & original music,sound editing & mixing).


Next we got movies with 8 nominations: Silver Linings Playbook, Les Miserables and Argo with 7.

Who haven't seen the Hangover??:) I bet everyone! So you know who Bradley Cooper is and apparently so does the Academy as they nominated him for the leading role...my my Bradley is becoming a REAL actor :) Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver are also on the list so all 4 possible actor/actress nominations appear for this movie.

For the past few months everyone were talking about Les Miserables and we all know the plot but seriously I'm very curious how it was directed by Tom Hooper. Gorgeous Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway are also in the loop.

Another interesting title is Argo directed by Ben Affleck who also plays in the movie. Last time when he did more for the movie than taking one of the roles,his friend Matt Damon and him received Oscars!Good Will Hunting was one of my favorite movies in the 90s.

Four movies received 5 Oscar nominations, Amour, Django Unchained, Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty. Out of those I have seen only one, latest James Bond....I know, this is pathetic, me calling myself a huge movie fan!

Amour, am not gonna lie, I never heard about it. But the directors name rings a bell, Michael Haneke.

Django Unchained ... now that one is gonna be either a weirdo kinda movie or an amazing experiment since Quentin Tarantino does not direct regular movies.

Skyfall is a completely different type of James Bond movies, it brings something new to the subject. In my opinion...quite a good change!

Kathryn Bigelow comes back with another war movie Zero Dark Thirty...or shall I say I am assuming it is a war movie as she received an Oscar in the past for directing the Hurt Locker, a must see movie!

There are obviously many more films nominated but I think I should not act like a big movie critic here since I gotta start watching all the mentioned ones! :)
