Not bad, Academy; not too bad at all. Yes, you completely overlooked Leslie Manville is which is kind of insane how good her performance is in Another Year, but otherwise, well done on Dogtooth and Incendies and The Illusionist; as well as John Hawkes, Michelle Williams and Nicole Kidman.

...and congrats to Jackie Weaver!
Great to see Animal Kingdom getting some recognition!
I haven't seen Dogtooth, I plan to this week, but I'm excited it got in, though I would have liked to have seen Confessions in there, too. Bummed about Summer Wars not making the final cut.
For those with Netflix in the US, Dogtooth is on Instant Watch. For those of you in Toronto, Incendies is playing at the TIFF multiplex.
Hopefully the Illusionist will open up a little wider now that it's got a nomination.
Toy Story 3 is an adaptation?
I learn something new every day...
Its a shame Christopher Nolan didn't get nominated for best director.
Not surprised (but was hoping against hope) CONFESSIONS didn't make the cut. Also, I agree with Todd (from a ehile back) ... SCOTT PILGRIM deserved something.
i always love costume design noms to movies like THE KING'S SPEECH which is just bow ties and tweed jackets. makes me feel like i could quit my desk job and be an oscar nominated costume designer in a matter of hours
What about animated shorts? And I'd like to know what order these are in. Cause isn't inception and Social Network lower on the list in terms of votes?
Nothing for Never Let Me Go :(
