Hugo has the most nominations with 11, followed by The Artist with 10.

Jonah Hill being nominated for an Oscar is such a WTF moment.

 

[Wangman Page]

Surprised Drive didn't get more noms. Totally agree with Jonah Hill though never would have thought that he would have been nominated.

Hope Planet of the Apes wins with visuals.

 

[Postman Dave]

Just noticed Melissa McCarthey got nominated for Bridesmaids, that's pretty cool too.

I can sadly say I've seen none of the films up for best picture.

 

[Wangman Page]

I have not either, but will probably be watching Moneyball soon.

didn't Rango come out Dec of 2010 and its nominated this year?

 

[Postman Dave]

I don't think so, I seem to remember it being a spring film.

 

[Wangman Page]

Just looked it up. March 4th 2011. I will have to watch that one too.

 

[Postman Dave]

I watched the first 15 minutes of it the other morning before work, it's pretty weird.

 

[Wangman Page]

My parents took my nephews to see it. They didn't like it but my nephews did. The only part my dad liked was the scene where they used a Clint Eastwood voice actor to do a scene from one of his other movies.

 

[Catfish Billy]

What the fuck did Jonah Hill do for a nomination?

 

[Wangman Page]

What the fuck did Jonah Hill do for a nomination?

Moneyball, he was Brad Pitt's sidekick in the film

 

[Fuji Vice]

The Artist should win every single award its nominated for. There has not been a film like it in years and there probably never will be again. I urge everyone to seek it out and bask in its joyousness.
