2013 Oscar Nominees Are Kinda Sorta Not OK

    Today, the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards were announced. And, I kinda expected them all. The weren't any MAJOR surprises to me, with the exceptions of a few snubs. Basically, all of the Best Picture nominees are the expected ones. Best director is a little more surprising. No Tarantino, Affleck or Bigelow, with the Academy REALLY liking Amour and Beasts of the Southern Wild. Best Actor, though, does has some huge snubs. Nothing foe Richard Gere, who gave the best performance of his career Arbitrage (Didn't review it, but did see it. You really should too.) Jamie Foxx was equally left out in the cold for Django Unchained. Best Actress is all fine and good. Same with Supporting Actress. The lack of Leonardo DiCaprio in Supporting Actor is very upsetting. Best Animated Picture is probably the most "right" category, with all the best one rightfully nominated. Lincoln leads with 12 nominations. Overall, not a terrible list and most everyone nominated does deserve it. Some just deserved it a little bit more. Full list after the jump.

Review 115: "Django Unchained"

It's Tarantino.

Of course it's good.

 

Tarantino Goes West

    As many of you have probably heard, Quentin Tarantino has a new movie coming out this Christmas. It's a western starring Jamie Foxx called Django Unchained. And it looks pretty good.
